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
