What is cupping massage?
Cupping is a type of alternative therapy that involves placing suction cups
along the back to aid in reducing inflammation and promoting pain relief.
Cupping improves energy flow within the body and facilitates healing through
the increase of blood flow along the back and spine.
What are the benefits of cupping massage?
- Increases blood flow
- Increases circulation
- Revitalises nervous system
- Detoxifies the body
- Reduces stretch marks, scars and varicose veins
- Aids digestion
- Relieves pain
How Does Cupping Therapy Work?
Cupping therapy can be provided in a number of different ways, from the
different types of cups used, to the method of how the cups are placed. Two
common types are:
- Wet cupping: Wet cupping is a cupping method that involves pricking
the skin with a small needle to draw blood before placing the cup. This
ensures that both blood flow is increased during the cupping treatment, but
also that blood toxins are properly released and expelled from your body. - Dry cupping: Dry cupping involves heating the inside of each
cup,usually with an alcohol soaked cotton ball, to create a vacuum between
the cup and the skin. This method increases suction, meaning that blood flow
is increased through pressure and circulation throughout the body is
improved.
As providers on the Blys platform are independent wellness professionals, the
method of cupping therapy they provide may differ from one therapist to
another. If you have a preferred cupping treatment you would like to book,
you can always add a note to your therapist when placing your booking.

Why can't you shower after cupping?
After a cupping session, it’s generally advisable to avoid hot showers or baths immediately because the skin may be more sensitive, and the sudden temperature change could be uncomfortable.

Facial cupping is known to increase oxygen-rich blood circulation, which strengthens skin and connective tissues. While you may not see immediate results after your cupping session, the long-term skin benefits of cupping are out of this world!
Does hijama remove toxins?
Hijama or cupping therapy releases toxins within the body through suctioning techniques, but it is actually the kidneys that expel those released toxins.
Same as a massage, we recommend drinking lots of water after your cupping appointment to help along the removal of toxins from the body.
Is hijama cupping painful?
Cupping therapy is not considered a painful or unsafe treatment, however, this type of therapy applies suction to different parts of the body. This means that there may be some discomfort during your appointment.
If you have any concerns about pain, it is advised that you bring it up during your consultation with your cupping therapist and alert your therapist during your appointment if any pain is felt.
How often should you cup your back?
You can get cupping therapy on your back quite regularly, with the recommendation being 1-2 times every week! We recommend you consult with your cupping therapist to confirm the regularity of your cupping treatments.
Where do you place the cups for cupping?
Depending on the cupping therapy method chosen, as well as your own areas of pain or concern, the cups can be placed on the back, stomach, arms, legs or the face.
A consultation with your cupping therapist prior to your appointment will help you discern the areas on your body where cups will be placed.
How long do you leave cups on when cupping?
The cup is generally left on the body for up to three minutes. In saying that, there are many different kinds of cupping therapy methods, so it is best to speak with your cupping therapist during your consultation or prior to your appointment if you have any questions.

In rare cases, more severe side effects like burns, blisters, or infection can occur if the cups are left in place for too long or if proper hygiene and safety precautions are not followed, highlighting the importance of seeking cupping therapy from trained and qualified practitioners, like those on the Blys platform.
