Cupping Therapy
Course Overview
Cupping is a subtle yet powerful therapy that compliments many healing modalities. It can be implemented as a treatment on its own or combined with other therapies such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, holistic massage, or sports massage. For practitioners, cupping requires only simple and inexpensive instruments, is relatively easy to learn, is time and energy efficient and achieves excellent results.
On our course you were learn how to use and apply both the glass (Fire Cupping) and plastic cups (Dry Cupping). Glass cupping is usually used when a client requests a full cupping treatment, whilst plastic cups are usually used to complement massage therapies and physiotherapy which can help improve and correct muscular dysfunction.
