Feel empowered to manage, relieve and prevent your own pain, tension and discomfort through the use of Cupping Therapy. Learn how to self-apply cups to different parts of the body and incorporate movement for maximum efficiency. During this course there is lots of hands on practical time so that you can get comfortable with using cupping during your day in order to treat your discomfort in between treatments.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Students will demonstrate knowledge on the history and benefits of cupping therapy.
  • Students will demonstrate knowledge on the indications, contraindications, and precautions for cupping therapy.
  • Students will be introduced to some of the research for cupping therapy.
  • Students will demonstrate proficiency in the application of cupping therapy as part of a treatment protocol to treat a variety of clinical conditions.

You will be able to take the course from the comfort of your home or office, over the internet. 

What you will need is

  • a laptop with a camera or a computer with a webcam or a tripod for your phone/tablet and a bit of space to work in. The camera will pick up what you are doing, so a way of using it close to you and hands free will be very helpful.
  • a good quality internet connection
  • a headset or headphones with a mic (the ones that come with most phones will work well) This will stop feedback from happening when people have open microphones.
  • You will need a set of cups.  If you do not have cups check out our online sample pack.
