Ive had a great experience here with the health program and working with the NP. They went through a transition phase and handled it so well and make sure I was taken care of through the whole thing. They have been quick to respond and get me appointments. 100% recommend.
Dr. Christine Rad assessed me then put me on a stretching and exercise routine that had me back on my feet in no time.
I was very impressed with her knowledge of the anatomy. But the handiest thing had to be the app, which demonstrates each exercise using a video.
Excellent medical clinic. Dedicated, knowledgeable staff who are focused on their patients’ health, well-being and improved quality of life.
Ottawa Health offers a variety of cupping services, including hijama, wet cupping, dry cupping, and more, designed to promote health and wellness through ancient and effective therapeutic techniques.
Cupping is a vacuum therapy used for thousands of years and has its roots in China. It is also found in traditional medicine within Islam. This ancient technique increases blood flow to the area where the cups are placed.
It’s used to tackle resistant pain, boost energy, alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and strengthen the immune system.
During a session, our cupping therapist Dr. Nivin Sharaf will place a cup on your skin and then heat it or suction it onto the skin. The cup is often heated with fire, using alcohol, herbs, or paper put directly into the cup. The fire source is removed, and the heated cup is placed with the open side on your skin.
Conditions That May Benefit From the Therapy
Since discovering cupping therapy and experiencing the benefits herself, Dr. Sharaf has taken 14 certified courses in cupping, acupuncture, and myofascial release.

The length of a session depends on the purpose of the treatment and the correction that we are trying to accomplish. Our appointments range from 30 minutes up to 120 minutes.
Most people have different experiences but there is usually a large sense of relaxation at the end of your appointment. Keep in mind that depending on the technique of cupping, there may be marks left from the therapy. These marks are usually not painful.
This question is best discussed with Dr. Nivin directly. If you have a unique situation, we would advice to discuss with the provider.
Cupping therapy can be performed in a variety of ways. Our skilled Dr. Nivin has decades of experience and can customize the treatment based on your tolerance. Most people feel very relaxed and resting after their sessions.
This varies depending on the reason for the therapy. In some instances, patients will find relief immediately after the session. In other situations, it may require a few sessions to relieve pain or before significant improvement can be appreciated.
