Hijama (Cupping Therapy)

iGood Health Centre offers dry cupping and hijama/wet cupping in Richmond Hill for eligible patients after proper screening. Cupping therapy uses controlled suction on specific areas of the body and may be used to support muscle tension relief, circulation to soft tissues, relaxation, and recovery from certain musculoskeletal concerns.

Wet cupping involves small superficial skin openings and must be performed with strict hygiene, proper screening, and professional care. Your provider will review your health history, medications, skin condition, and safety factors before treatment.

During a hijama session, you can expect a consultation to assess your health concerns, followed by the application of suction cups on your skin, creating a pulling sensation. The cups are typically left in place for 10-20 minutes, during which you may feel relaxed. Afterward, the practitioner will remove the cups, and you may notice temporary redness, which usually fades within a few days.

Hijama therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for many, with most individuals enjoying a positive experience. Some may notice mild, temporary effects like slight redness or tenderness at the cupping sites, which usually resolve quickly. Overall, hijama promotes relaxation and well-being, making it a valuable addition to your wellness routine.
