Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique that some people use to ease pain. A provider places cups on your back, stomach, arms, legs or other parts of your body. A vacuum or suction force inside the cup pulls your skin upward.
Hijama, also called cupping therapy, is a traditional treatment where cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction.
This suction helps improve blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, and remove stagnant blood from painful or tight areas.

Benefits:

Reduces muscle pain

Improves blood flow

Helps in headaches & back pain

Relaxes tight muscles

Supports healing

How it works:

A trained therapist applies cups → suction is created → blood flow increases → toxins and waste products clear from tissues.

Lower Cross Syndrome is a common postural imbalance where certain muscle groups become tight while others weaken — especially around the lower back and pelvis. This imbalance often leads to discomfort, poor posture, and increased risk of injury.

👎 Common in people who sit for long periods
💢 Leads to lower back pain, pelvic tilt, or poor posture
🧠 Early identification is key to long-term relief
