Techniques and Methods

Cupping therapy encompasses a variety of techniques and methods, each of which is specifically designed to address the unique health concerns and requirements of the individual. Dry cupping, moist cupping, fire cupping, and massage cupping are the most frequently employed methods. Dry cupping is a technique that involves the creation of a vacuum within cups that are set on the skin. This process is intended to improve blood circulation and alleviate muscle tension. Wet cupping, also referred to as Hijama, involves a gentle skin incision prior to the application of the cups, which facilitates the removal of small quantities of blood and aids in detoxification. Fire cupping is a technique that employs heat to generate suction by momentarily igniting a flame within the cup before placing it on the skin, thereby providing deep tissue relief. Massage cupping is a distinctive method of deep-tissue massage that incorporates suction and movement. Practitioners are capable of customizing treatments to meet the unique requirements of their clients, as each method offers its own set of advantages.
