Dry cupping treatment at Herts Cupping in St Albans

Hijama, explained

Hijama is wet cupping.

It uses cupping suction, small superficial scratches and a second round of cups. Some clients come specifically for Hijama. Others combine it with recovery when they also want hands-on work on tight areas.

You do not need to be Muslim to choose Hijama. We check suitability first and explain the process before treatment starts.

Dry cupping vs Hijama

Dry cupping: suction only, with no scratches or blood removal.

Hijama (Wet Cupping): suction plus small superficial scratches and a second round of cups.

If stretching, rest or massage only settles it temporarily, start with Targeted Recovery. We have time to work around the area, not just the exact spot you point to.

How we work

The session can change once we start.

A shoulder booking can turn into upper-back, trap or chest work if that is where the restriction leads us. Hamstrings can lead into glutes, hips or lower back. We explain what we find as we go.

Been looking for some natural stress relief therapy for quite some time and randomly came across this Hijama Cupping therapy. It was really explained well to me, the setup was very professional in the clinic and I cannot believe how much relief I found after the sessions. I was finding it difficult to sleep and was sleeping like a baby for the first few days. The sound of it was really scary, but it was nothing more than a slight scratch, nothing compared to the pains I went through with Tattoos and it healed up really quickly. Have been telling all my family and friends about this. Some are not convinced, but I will definitely be back for more in the future.

Shahid helped me with my recovery with my hamstring but he recommends the best course of action. For example, I initially asked for hijama for my hamstring but he advised a targeted recovery session would be more helpful for my needs. He also gave me gym exercises to help with recovery. After the session I noticed my issue subsided. He’s really friendly and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Top class service.

Tried cupping for the first time and was feeling nervous. Abdus Shahid was very professional and talked me through the process. It helped relieve tightness in my quads. I would highly recommend

I had an excellent experience at this cupping centre professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire session The clinic was very clean and hygienic and everything was explained clearly before the treatment. I left feeling relaxed, refreshed and much better. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality cupping therapy.
