ON LINE ENROLLMENT
Cupping massage is a simple, effective technique that offers numerous benefits. It began in China thousands of years ago and now has widespread acceptance across the world including Middle Eastern, European and Asian cultures. For centuries people have reported good results with this therapy. Cupping massage can be used in tandem with other therapies or alone. Either way, it offers very good results and many have enjoyed the comfort they have experienced after the massage cupping therapy.
Cupping massage is a method of using negative pressure and suction to loosen adhesions, drain excess toxins and fluids, and lift connective tissue. It promotes increased blood flow to stagnant muscles and skin. It is a very natural technique that compliments the therapeutic benefits of several body treatments like massages.
You will learn how to use different types of cups and how to effectively and safely work them into a treatment as a modality. Cups not include, cups will be provided to use in training.
