Hijama, also known as wet cupping, is a traditional therapy in which suction cups and small superficial incisions draw a small amount of blood from the skin. At Amor Therapies it is performed with single-use equipment and modern hygiene standards, a short walk from Bethnal Green station.
Hijama sits at the heart of how Amor Therapies works. Every session uses single-use equipment and full hygiene standards, delivered by a practitioner who specialises in the practice rather than offering it as an afterthought.
Some clients book for the Sunnah practice, others because they train hard and want the recovery benefit. You do not need to be Muslim to book, and every client is treated exactly the same way.
Sessions run at State of Change Clinic, 461 Bethnal Green Road, a short walk from Bethnal Green station and easy to reach from Shoreditch, Whitechapel, Mile End and across Tower Hamlets.
An entry 30-minute session using multi-modal therapy, targeted where you need it most.
A fuller mid-tier session combining massage, hijama cupping and percussion therapy for deeper release.
The complete 60-minute treatment with advanced tools, our most thorough session.

Hijama, also called wet cupping, is a traditional therapy in which suction cups are applied to the skin and small superficial incisions are made so a small amount of blood is drawn. At Amor Therapies every session uses single-use equipment and modern hygiene standards.
Most people describe the sensation as pressure from the cups and a light scratching rather than sharp pain. Any discomfort is normally brief, and the practitioner adjusts to your feedback throughout the session.
The circular marks left by the cups usually fade within one to two weeks, depending on your skin and circulation. They are marks from suction rather than bruises from an impact, and they normally fade on their own.
Hijama is included in the Recovery sessions rather than priced separately: £50 for the 30-minute Recovery Starter, £60 for Recovery Plus, and £75 for the 60-minute Recovery Elite.
No. Some clients book for the Sunnah practice and others purely for the recovery benefit, and every client is treated exactly the same way.
