What is cupping therapy?
Cupping therapy uses cups that create gentle suction on the skin. The suction lifts the skin and underlying tissue, which can help relax tight muscles, improve local blood circulation and reduce pain.
At MuvAgain we use dry (non-bleeding) cupping with hygienic cups as part of a complete physiotherapy plan. Cups can be static or moved along the muscle, and are often combined with electrotherapy and exercises.

Frequently asked questions
Are cupping marks painful?
The circular marks are not bruises from injury and are usually painless. They fade within a few days.
Is cupping the same as hijama?
Hijama is wet cupping, which involves small skin cuts. We provide dry cupping as a physiotherapy technique.
How often can I have cupping?
Usually once or twice a week, depending on your condition and how your skin responds.
Is cupping therapy safe?
Yes, when it is done by a certified therapist after an assessment. We use clean cups and check your medical history first. Cupping is avoided over broken skin, and we take extra care if you are pregnant, take blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder.
