Hijama · Wet cupping · Queen’s Park, London
Hijama, offered with clinical care.
Hijama — also known as wet cupping — is a traditional practice involving controlled suction and small, superficial skin incisions. At The Pelvic Osteo it is offered by a qualified osteopath, in a clinical setting, with time taken to understand whether it is right for you.
Your appointment
What to expect
01
Consultation first
Every session begins with a conversation about your health, your reasons for seeking Hijama and anything that might make treatment unsuitable for you.
02
Clinical setting
Treatment takes place in a private treatment room using sterile, single-use equipment, with the same standards of hygiene you would expect from any clinical appointment.
03
The treatment itself
Cups are applied to create gentle suction, followed by small, superficial skin incisions before the cups are re-applied. Most people describe the sensation as unusual rather than painful.
04
Aftercare
You’ll leave with clear aftercare guidance. Small circular marks are normal and usually fade over the days that follow.
Before you book
Honest guidance, always.
Hijama is not suitable for everyone. We’ll discuss your medical history first, and in some cases may advise against treatment or suggest an alternative.
If you are pregnant, have a bleeding disorder, take blood-thinning medication, or are feeling unwell, please mention this before booking.
Hijama is offered as a complementary therapy. It is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment, and we’ll always encourage you to see your GP where appropriate.
