The main difference between dry and wet cupping is the use of a scalpel to create small scratches on the patient's skin. This act draws out stagnant blood, offering relief from pain.
Since wet cupping involves blood, a patient's skin must be thoroughly cleaned to prevent infection. Wet cupping is usually performed following a dry cupping session. For maximum effectiveness, it is recommended that no food be consumed for two to three hours before wet cupping.
The main reason why wet cupping is often used over dry cupping is as follows:
• Wet cupping stimulates the flow of blood and chi almost immediately. Therefore, it can be considered the fastest method of cupping when comparing results.
• Wet cupping is the most effective method for pain relief for both chronic and acute pain.
• Wet cupping offers long-term relief for several ailments including the flu, addictions, acne, skin diseases, anxiety attacks, fibromyalgia, etc.

1h Hijama Wet Cupping 


Cupping is a form of massage therapy which decompresses soft tissues using vacuum suction, unlike other forms of massage that compresses soft tissues.  During cupping, the cup gently sucks to your skin and lifts underlying soft tissue into the cup.
 
Cupping is very relaxing and generally not painful.  The sensation that is experienced is a pulling of the skin as the cup is moved in a rolling fashion.  Redness or a feeling of warmth is usually experienced after the release of the cup due to increase blood flow to the area. 
 
Almost anyone can benefit from cupping.  It is used to treat lack of mobility, tight muscles, scars and many diagnoses like headaches, tendinitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, fibromyalgia, and release of trigger points.

Benefits-
- Release scar tissue and fascial adhesions
- Reduce painful trigger points
- Improve circulation, blood and lymph circulation
- Relieve pain
- Promote mobility and range of motion
- Improves mature scars
- Decrease toxins



30min Sports Massage + Cupping Treatment 

Sports massage often involves a fast-paced massage, stretching and other approaches, depending upon the sport in which you participate or where your pain is (remember though, you don’t have to be a regular sports athlete to have a sports massage). It can be tailored to be used as a pre-workout stretch and opportunity to warm up the muscles or used as a post-workout massage designed to reduce soreness and increase flexibility.

A session includes direct compression to the soft tissue, picking up and squeezing the skin and muscle, rubbing, compression, and cross-fibre friction to the problem area. This type of massage sometimes it’s the most relaxing due to getting deep into the muscle, however I will only go as deep as the client is comfortable. 

Benefits:
Increase joint flexibility
Increases blood flow
Reduction in anxiety 
Decrease muscle tension
Relax nerves
Decrease muscle spasms
Decreases chance of injury
Decreases recovery time
Breaks down scar tissue

 1h Sports Massage + Cupping Treatment 

It’s a device that uses gravity to circulate ice cold water providing cold therapy in the treatment of injuries. Using thermal insulation enhanced technology, it reduces cooling loss and prevents heat entering the system, staying colder for longer. 

The intermittent compression system is clinically proven to help reduce post-operative/injury swellings and regain range of movment via compression and cold therapy.  

Cyro Therapy is effective at reducing pain and swelling because the cold constricts blood vessels and decreases circulation to the area.

* reduces bleeding into the tissues
* prevents or reduces swelling (inflammation)
* reduces muscle pain and spasms
