Hijama Therapy

Hijama points are specific areas of the body selected for cupping therapy based on traditional practices and individual therapeutic needs. At Wellness by Dr. Nimra, we use Prophetic Sunnah Hijama points as well as Dr. Ahmed Hefny’s advanced Hijama points, selecting appropriate points according to your symptoms, concerns, and wellness goals.

Types of Cupping Therapy

• Wet Cupping (Hijama): Involves creating controlled suction along with small superficial skin incisions. It should only be performed by a properly trained professional using strict hygiene and safety protocols.
• Dry Cupping: Uses suction cups placed directly on the skin without making any incisions. It may help promote local blood flow, provide sensory stimulation, and support muscle relaxation.
• Cryocupping: Combines the cooling effect of cold therapy with the gliding or stationary application of cupping. It may be used to help manage localized discomfort, inflammation, and muscle soreness as part of a broader treatment plan.

Benefits of Hijama Therapy

Hijama and cupping therapy may help with:

• Muscle relaxation and reduced muscle tightness
• Temporary relief from muscular discomfort
• Improved local circulation
• Support for recovery from muscle soreness
• Reduced feelings of stress and tension
• Enhanced relaxation and overall well-being
• Complementary support during rehabilitation

Our Hijama therapy sessions are personalized to your individual needs, with carefully selected points and techniques. Whether you choose dry or wet Hijama, our goal is to provide a safe and professional experience that supports relaxation, helps ease muscular discomfort, and complements your overall wellness and physiotherapy care.
