Cupping Therapy
Discover the healing power of ancient techniques combined with modern physiotherapy at Pramukh Advance Physiotherapy Center. Our Cupping Therapy service offers a natural and effective way to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and boost overall wellness.
What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping Therapy is a traditional healing method that uses specially designed cups placed on the skin to create suction. This suction gently lifts the skin and underlying tissues, increasing blood flow, promoting relaxation, and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.
At Pramukh, we offer both dry cupping and wet cupping (Hijama) based on your condition and therapy goals, administered by trained professionals in a clean and safe environment.
How Cupping Therapy Works
During a cupping session, cups are applied to specific areas of the body—typically the back, shoulders, or legs. The suction created helps:
- Improve blood circulation
- Loosen tight or stiff muscles
- Remove toxins and metabolic waste
- Reduce pain and inflammation
- Encourage tissue repair and healing
- Promote deep relaxation and stress relief
The therapy may leave temporary circular marks on the skin, which are a normal part of the healing process.

Free ask question?
Cupping is generally not painful. You may feel a strong pulling or tight sensation during treatment. Afterward, you might feel relaxed or mildly sore, like after a deep tissue massage.
Common, harmless side effects include:
- Circular marks or bruises where the cups were applied (fade in 3–7 days)
- Mild soreness
- Temporary dizziness (rare)
- Severe side effects are rare when done by trained professionals.
A typical session lasts 15–30 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the technique used. Some cups may be left in place or moved during the session.
This depends on your condition and response to treatment. For chronic pain, sessions might be done once or twice a week initially, then reduced as symptoms improve.
Cupping may not be suitable for:
- Pregnant women (on the abdomen or lower back)
- People with skin infections, wounds, or sunburn
- Those with blood clotting disorders or on blood thinners
- People with extreme fatigue or very weak immune systems Always consult your therapist before starting.
