Experience Expert Hijama Therapy at AMA Health Group
Wet cupping, also known as Hijama therapy in Melbourne at AMA Health Group, is a therapeutic technique that involves creating a vacuum on the skin and making tiny, superficial incisions to draw out a small amount of blood. While dry cupping only uses suction to massage the tissue, wet cupping is considered a decongestive therapy aimed at removing what practitioners call stagnant or toxic blood. Our skilled practitioners are experts in delivering this treatment, ensuring each session is meticulously tailored to meet the unique needs of your body.
Tailored Hijama Therapy for Optimal Recovery
Practitioners and patients use wet cupping for a variety of reasons, though scientific evidence is often categorized as low to moderate quality. At AMA Health Group, our experienced practitioners use this technique to promote healing and restore function, targeting specific areas of discomfort, tension, or injury to support your recovery journey.
The Benefits of Hijama Therapy
Hijama therapy is more than just a treatment. It is a strategic approach to physical health and recovery. Our services are particularly effective for:
- Pain Relief: Widely used for chronic back pain, neck pain, migraines, and sports injuries
- Detoxification: Believed to remove heavy metals, inflammatory markers, and metabolic waste from the blood
- Reducing Inflammation: By drawing blood to the surface, it is thought to trigger an immune response that reduces systemic inflammation
- Circulation: Stimulates blood flow to specific organs or muscle groups, potentially speeding up muscle recovery

Why Choose AMA Health Group for Hijama Therapy?
Because Hijama involves breaking the skin, it is performed only with fully sterile equipment. It is generally avoided for people on blood thinners, those with hemophilia, pregnant women, or people with active skin infections or eczema. Please consult our practitioners prior to booking to ensure this treatment is right for you.
