Integrated Across Our Treatment Pathways

Hijama (wet cupping) is one of the oldest documented therapies, with a continuous lineage across Middle Eastern, North African, Chinese and Greco-Roman medical traditions. Historically used to support detoxification, circulation and the relief of stagnation, it has remained a respected practice in many cultures for centuries.

Contemporary practice combines traditional protocols with modern hygiene, single-use equipment and clinical assessment. Practitioners apply controlled negative pressure to specific anatomical sites, followed by superficial scarification to draw small amounts of capillary blood.

Suction is thought to influence local microcirculation, lymphatic drainage and tissue perfusion. Practitioners commonly observe responses associated with the autonomic nervous system, soft-tissue tension and post-treatment recovery quality.

Used to support general detoxification, muscular tension, recovery from training load, hormonal regulation, headaches and fertility-related pathways. Application is always guided by presentation and clinical judgement.

Active individuals managing recovery load, clients seeking detox support, those with persistent muscular tension, and individuals exploring complementary support for hormonal or fertility-related goals.

Hijama features across all three pathways — Detox, Pain/Injury & Post-Surgery, and Hormonal & Fertility Support — with depth and site selection scaled to the level of care.

Not appropriate for individuals with active bleeding disorders, on certain anticoagulants, with poorly controlled chronic disease, or other clinical contraindications. Practitioner screening always precedes treatment.

Fire cupping has been practised for thousands of years across Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, traditionally used to address stagnation, cold-related conditions and musculoskeletal tension.

A controlled flame briefly heats the air inside a glass cup, which is immediately placed on the skin. As the air cools, negative pressure forms, lifting tissue and creating a deep myofascial decompression effect without breaking the skin.

Decompression may influence fascial glide, capillary perfusion and superficial soft-tissue mobility. The thermal component is also associated with subjective relaxation and circulation responses.

Commonly applied for muscular tightness, fascial restriction, recovery support and adjunctive use within broader treatment plans.

Individuals with chronic muscular tension, those tolerating dry-cupping modalities, and clients on integrated pathways requiring layered soft-tissue work.

Used within Advanced and Elite levels of care across Detox, Recovery and Hormonal pathways where additional soft-tissue or circulatory work is clinically appropriate.

Not used over broken skin, fragile or compromised tissue, active inflammation, or where heat-based modalities are clinically inappropriate.

Exercise Prescription draws from clinical exercise physiology — an evidence-informed discipline that uses structured movement to support rehabilitation, performance and long-term health.

Targeted loading influences musculoskeletal capacity, motor control, joint mechanics and neuromuscular coordination. Programs are progressed based on assessment and recovery response.

Injury rehabilitation, post-surgical recovery support, movement-quality restoration, return-to-training planning and corrective programming.

Clients recovering from injury or surgery, individuals with movement-quality issues, and active clients seeking structured rehabilitative or performance-focused programming.

Featured within the Pain, Injury & Post-Surgery pathway, particularly at Elite level, where corrective mobility and rehabilitation principles are layered over manual therapy.

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) is a modern manual therapy technique using purpose-designed instruments to address soft-tissue restriction. The Graston technique is among the most recognised IASTM systems internationally.

Controlled instrument strokes may influence fascial mobility, local circulation and neurosensory feedback, potentially supporting tissue remodelling and restoration of glide.

Used to address fascial restriction, scar tissue mobility, chronic tendinopathies and movement limitations associated with soft-tissue tightness.

Clients with chronic soft-tissue restrictions, post-injury fascial limitations, or those requiring deeper integration within a recovery pathway.

Applied at Advanced and Elite Recovery levels within the Pain, Injury & Post-Surgery pathway, often paired with Hijama and Percussive Therapy.

Avoided over broken skin, acute haematoma, active inflammation, vascular pathology or other clinical contraindications.

Percussive Therapy uses high-frequency mechanical percussion delivered by purpose-built devices, applied to muscle and fascial tissue to support recovery and movement quality.

Rapid oscillatory input may influence local circulation, neuromuscular tone and subjective tension. It is commonly used as an adjunct rather than a standalone therapy.

Supports pre-treatment soft-tissue preparation, post-treatment recovery, mobility work and integration with manual therapy modalities.

Active clients managing recovery load, individuals with muscular tightness, and those on Advanced or Elite pathways requiring layered soft-tissue support.

Layered within Advanced and Elite Recovery treatment levels, alongside Hijama and IASTM Therapy, to support comprehensive recovery integration.

Avoided over acute injury sites, bony prominences, vascular structures and other clinical contraindications.
