It might look like someone is pulling your skin and you’d assume it’s extremely painful, but Hijama is actually surprisingly comfortable — almost like a deep tissue massage.
Once the cups are placed on your back, sometimes you completely forget they’re even there.
We apply the cups first to help numb the area before making the small incisions, so you barely feel them. But even something that looks this simple can be done incorrectly. One common mistake is applying too much suction too quickly, which can cause unnecessary bruising and do more harm than good.
That’s why we teach everything properly — from the absolute basics, right through to the full Hijama process.
It’s not just about knowing how to place a cup. It’s about understanding how to do it safely and correctly.
