Hijama

An ancient therapy for natural healing and relief.

Hijama at Prestons Injury Therapy in Prestons NSW

Hijama — wet cupping — is performed at our clinic by experienced practitioners using sterile, single-use equipment for every client. This page covers what the treatment involves, what it commonly helps with, the aftercare that follows and what it costs.

The therapy uses localised negative pressure to create a vacuum that opens the muscle tissue, increases blood circulation and helps restore the body's natural balance. While it can be applied anywhere on the body, it is most often used over areas of pain for targeted relief.

After your session it's normal to have temporary circular marks or light bruising where the cups were applied — these typically fade within about ten days. We'll give you simple aftercare advice: keep the area clean, stay hydrated and avoid intense exercise for a day.

Frequently asked questions

Does it hurt and how long do marks last?

The procedure is well tolerated. Cups are applied to the area, a small sterile incision is made, and suction draws out blood. Temporary bruising is normal and usually subsides within 10 days.

Is there anyone who should not have Hijama?

No GP referral is needed, however Hijama is not suitable if you are pregnant or taking blood thinners. As of April 2019, private health insurers no longer cover natural therapies such as Hijama.

How much does Hijama cost?

A Hijama therapy session is $80. If you'd like Hijama combined with a chiropractic treatment, combined sessions start from $140. No GP referral is needed to book.

How many Hijama sessions will I need?

It varies from person to person and depends on what you're treating. Many people have Hijama periodically for general wellbeing, while others come for a specific area of pain. After your first session we'll give you an honest recommendation based on how you respond.

Is Hijama safe and hygienic?

Yes. Every treatment is performed using sterile, single-use equipment by experienced practitioners, following strict hygiene standards to keep the procedure safe.
