Excellent
Relieved months of lower back pain in just one session. The assessment beforehand was thorough and I knew exactly what to expect. Highly recommended.
The best recovery session I've ever had. Clean, sterile, and they explain everything clearly before starting. You can tell it's not a rushed job.
Very professional and hygienic. I've had Hijama elsewhere before but this was on another level. Felt like a proper clinical experience, not just a quick session.

What We Do Differently
Is This Sounding Familiar?
If something has been bothering you and other treatments have not quite sorted it, this is what we see most often.
Ongoing tightness in your lower back that never fully settles?
If you've tried massage and it hasn't shifted it, targeted cupping works deeper into the tissue layers. We combine dry cupping with myofascial release to decompress the area and get things moving again.
Neck & Shoulder Tension
The kind of tightness that builds up from desk work, driving, or just daily life. Focused soft tissue work on the upper traps and surrounding areas. Most clients feel a noticeable difference after one session.
Gym Recovery & Mobility
Cupping and IASTM help clear the waste that builds up after heavy training, reduce delayed onset soreness, and improve joint range of motion. Useful for anyone training regularly who wants to recover faster.
First-Time Hijama & General Wellbeing
If you've been meaning to try Hijama for a while, this is a safe and professional place to start. We walk you through everything and make sure you're comfortable throughout. No rush, no pressure.
Abdus Shahid
Lead Practitioner
Every session here is with me, personally. I take the time to understand what's going on with your body, build a plan around it, and make sure you leave with clear aftercare. I don't take multiple clients at once and I don't hand you off to someone else. This is a small clinic by design, because I'd rather do fewer sessions properly than more sessions badly.
I'm certified in Hijama Cupping Therapy through the Hijama Clinic (2023), and hold an International Diploma in Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation, a Myofascial Cupping Practitioners Diploma, and a Diploma in Trigger Point Therapy through OMT Training.
For female clients, we have a dedicated female practitioner who holds a Diploma in Hijama Cupping Therapy from D2D Therapies (IPHM approved). She provides Hijama in a comfortable, fully private setting.
What Every Session Looks Like
Assessment
We talk through your goals, symptoms, and medical history before anything begins. This is how we make sure the session is right for you.
Treatment
A tailored session using the right combination of techniques for your body. Whether Hijama, dry cupping, IASTM, or manual therapy, we explain everything as we go.
Aftercare
You leave with clear guidance on what to expect and what to do in the days after your session. We're always a message away if you have questions.
