Dry Cupping Therapy in Dubai - Physiotherapy and Wellness Center

Dry cupping therapy is a favorite at our physiotherapy and wellness center, complementing manual therapy sessions. This traditional method promotes deep relief and detoxification by utilizing suction to release toxins. Unlike wet cupping (hijama), which involves puncturing the skin, dry cupping focuses on stimulating blood circulation and promoting toxin release through the lymphatic system.
By targeting specific tight areas, myofascial cupping reduces pain and soreness and supports cell repair. The therapy also triggers a positive immune response both locally and systemically. After the session, cupping marks may appear on the skin, indicating the level of toxins in the area, ranging from bright red to dark purple. These marks are harmless and will fade within a few hours or up to a week.

How Cupping Therapy in Dubai Works:

Cupping therapy basically relies on cups that create suction, drawing the skin upwards, which aids in promoting blood flow, reducing muscle tension, and stimulating the body’s natural healing process. However, it’s important to mention that even with all the benefits, the process can be a little uncomfortable for first-timers. That being out of question, here’s how the whole process works:

• The cups are made warm using specialized equipment.
• These cups are then strategically placed on targeted areas on your skin.
• The air trapped inside the cup is then drawn out using heat to create a vacuum.
• Once the cups are vacuumed, suction is created, which results in the skin being drawn up.
• After a designated time, which is about 5-10 minutes, the cups are removed from the skin.
• Once the procedure is complete, you might notice some bruises on your skin that will fade away in a few days.

What are the different types of cupping therapies we offer?

There are a number of different types of cupping therapies that we offer at our clinic, each having its unique benefits based on our clients needs and goals. Some of them are listed as under:

1. Dry Cupping Therapy

It’s one of the simplest and most common treatments we offer to our clients and is best suited for everyone. It simply involves placing cups on select areas of the body for several minutes. It helps relieve muscle tension, improve blood flow, and just promote general relaxation. If you haven’t tried cupping therapy before, this might just be the perfect place to start.

2. Wet Cupping/Cupping Therapy (Hijama)

Wet cupping follows more or less the same procedure, with the exception of light skin picking before placing the cups. As a result, a small amount of blood is drawn out of the body, which induces a detox effect on the body. Other than that, it has also been shown to be an effective treatment to relieve muscle tension, relieve pain, and manage medical conditions.

3. Fire Cupping

Don’t worry; there’s no fire involved. 😉 The terminology basically comes from the use of hot air inside the cups to create suction. Finding its origins in Chinese traditions, the treatment offers every benefit of cupping therapy, with an added soothing effect due to extra warmth. In other words, it’s a comfortable form of cupping therapy that happens to be beneficial as well.

4. Moving Cupping

Our moving cupping therapy is simply a combination of massage and cupping therapy. In this treatment, we apply oil to your skin and then move cups gently over your muscles, with specific emphasis on large muscle groups like the back and thighs. The therapy is extremely helpful in relieving muscle tightness, improving circulation, and breaking up any adhesions in your body.

5. Other Cupping Therapies

Other cupping therapies that we offer include flash cupping, facial cupping, silicon cupping, and magnetic cupping, each having different benefits but the same efficacy for your body. The treatment we provide could be one of the aforementioned or a combination of both, depending on your requirements and goals.
