Fire Cupping Therapy is a traditional therapy that involves placing heated glass or silicone cups on the skin to create a vacuum-like suction. This suction promotes blood circulation, releases muscle tension, draws out toxins, and helps relieve pain. The heat used in the process enhances the therapeutic effect by penetrating deep into the tissues.
At Sanjeevni Physiotherapy Clinic, we integrate this ancient method with modern physiotherapy practices to treat musculoskeletal issues, chronic pain, tight fascia, and stress-related conditions safely and effectively.

Our Treatment Approach at Sanjeevni Physiotherapy Clinic
At Sanjeevni Physiotherapy Clinic, we begin with a detailed assessment to identify areas of fascial restriction, trigger points, and postural imbalances. Based on your unique condition, we craft a personalized therapy plan focused on long-term recovery.
Therapy Procedure:
- Assessment & Target Area Selection
A short evaluation is done to locate muscle tightness or blockages. - Sterile Cup Heating & Application
Glass cups are heated with a flame (briefly) to create a vacuum and then placed quickly onto the skin. - Suction & Muscle Release
The suction pulls the skin and underlying tissues upward, improving blood flow and relaxing tight muscles. - Duration
Cups remain in place for 5 to 15 minutes depending on the need and skin response. - Post-Treatment Care
Cups are removed, and light massage or stretching may follow. Temporary round marks may appear but usually fade within a few days. - Integration with Physiotherapy
Fire cupping can be used alongside manual therapy, trigger point release, or myofascial work for a deeper effect.
