Is cupping therapy in Dubai at Physio Cure dry cupping only?

Yes. Our cupping therapy in Dubai is dry cupping only. We do not offer wet cupping, bloodletting, or hijama, and every cupping session is used as part of a broader physiotherapy plan.

Do you offer wet cupping or hijama?

No. Physio Cure Dubai performs dry cupping only. We do not offer wet cupping, bloodletting, or hijama. Dry cupping uses suction alone, with no incisions and no broken skin.

Does cupping leave marks?

Dry cupping can leave temporary circular discolouration that ranges from light pink to dark purple, depending on how much congestion is in the tissue. These marks are not bruises, they reflect blood drawn to the surface, and they typically fade within three to seven days.

Yes, when performed by trained, licensed physiotherapists. Our team uses sterile single-use cups, follows strict hygiene protocols, and reviews your medical history during your initial assessment to confirm cupping is appropriate for your condition.

Will cupping fix my pain on its own?

Cupping is a complementary modality, not a standalone fix. We use it within a wider treatment plan alongside manual therapy, targeted exercise, and patient education. Addressing the root cause is what produces lasting results.

How does insurance work?

We are insurance-friendly through a pay-and-claim model. You pay at the clinic, and we provide detailed invoices and medical reports so you can submit reimbursement claims directly to your insurer. We recommend calling your insurer before your visit to confirm your plan covers physiotherapy.

Our Dry Cupping Approach

Dry Cupping (Static): Cups are placed on tense areas and left in position for several minutes to draw blood flow into the tissue and ease muscle tightness.

Dry Cupping (Massage): After light oil is applied, cups are slid along the muscle fibres to combine the effects of cupping and soft-tissue massage.

Trigger-Point Cupping: Smaller cups target specific knots or trigger points your physiotherapist identifies during your assessment.

Sports Recovery Cupping: Pre or post-training cupping for athletes, used to manage soreness and support muscle recovery between sessions.

How We Work

Care that goes beyond the clinical room

Real tools that change how you experience your treatment, from the moment you walk in to the day you walk out pain-free.

Live Translation AI

The moment you walk in, our front desk speaks your language. So does your doctor during every consultation and session. Real-time audio translation runs in both directions with zero latency, so we effectively speak every language, not just three.

Physio Cure Connect

Your care continues between visits in Physio Cure Connect. Manage appointments, follow your recovery, review session history and doctor-published clinical updates, message your doctor securely in the Recovery Room, and download invoices on iOS, Android, or the web.

Doctor-guided home exercise plan

Your Recovery Room turns prescribed home exercises into clear, patient-specific guidance: exact dosage, step-by-step technique, start-and-finish visuals, video demonstrations, common mistakes, safety notes, and progression rules.

On-demand consent translation

The digital consent form shows in English and Arabic by default. Speak something else? Pick your language from the drop-down, tap translate, and read the full form in your own language before you sign anything.

Flexible payments

Pay by card, Tabby installments, Ziina, or a private payment link. Whatever works for you.

Why patients choose Dr. Mina Gamil

Insurance-friendly through pay-and-claim

Your insurance still works with us. We hand you a detailed, claim-ready invoice and a medical report your insurer expects, and you submit for reimbursement straight from your portal. The reason we run pay-and-claim instead of direct billing: it keeps your treatment plan doctor-led, designed around what your body needs, not capped by what a network pre-approves.
