Professional Hijama (Cupping) Therapy in Ottawa
At KUR Hijama, we provide structured, professional wet cupping therapy designed to support circulation, relieve muscular tension and promote systemic balance.
Our practitioners bring over 11 years of experience, offering both male and female services in a private, clinically prepared environment.
What is Hijama?
Hijama is a traditional therapeutic technique involving controlled suction applied to specific anatomical points on the body.
During the procedure:
Medical-grade cups create localized negative pressure
A series of superficial micro-incisions are performed
Stagnant blood and metabolic waste are gently released
Circulation is stimulated in the targeted region.
Hijama is widely used as a complementary therapy to support:
Musculoskeletal recovery
Tension-related discomfort
Circulatory optimization
Nervous system regulation
General detoxification support
At KUR Hijama, each session is individualized based on your condition, goals and health history.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“The best of remedies you have is cupping (Hijama).”
Sahih al-Bukhari

Frequently Asked Questions
Most clients describe the sensation as firm pressure or suction rather than pain. Sensitivity varies depending on the treatment area and individual tolerance. The intensity is adjusted throughout the session to maintain comfort.
The incisions performed during wet cupping are superficial micro-incisions designed to facilitate controlled release.
Circular marks are a normal physiological response to suction and reflect localized congestion being addressed. These marks typically fade within 3–10 days.
They are not traumatic bruises, but a therapeutic response to increased circulation.
When performed by a trained practitioner using sterile, single-use equipment, Hijama is considered safe for most healthy individuals.
At KUR Hijama, we follow strict hygiene and procedural protocols to ensure a controlled and professional treatment environment.
Some individuals may experience temporary lightheadedness, fatigue or mild weakness following treatment. This is typically short-lived and may occur due to circulatory changes.
We recommend rest afterward to support recovery.
