This Cupping course is unique in that we do not focus on any one 'type' of Cupping Therapy but rather focus on the research available and the types of treatments that can be provided using the various products in the marketplace. This approach provides you with the knowledge and skill on how to use a number of different types of cups to achieve the overall therapeutic outcome your clients are looking for.

There is 2-way communication at all times, both audio and video, so the instructor and students are more involved the entire length of the course and have lots of hands-on time!  You learn how to use 13 different cupping sets, the history, contraindications/indications, proper cleaning protocols, specific treatments for many issues seen in clients, charting, cupping with movement, nerve glides, scar tissue work and debunking of many myths taught in the industry.

We provide you with information on how to treat common client complaints by using Cupping Therapy for the overall outcome of your client’s treatment plan. We will cover techniques to use that are specific for the treatment of injuries and enhancing mobility. There is evidence that Cupping Therapy can influence the nervous system and has been shown to influence research subjects' perception of pain...so join us and discover the ways that you can make a big difference in your client's wellness journey.

Save your body and your hands and most importantly, discover how the versatility of Cupping Therapy can transform your practice into life-changing bodywork.

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

Please note that all registration details such as your name and contact information will be shared with Cupping Canada Inc. as they will be issuing the Zoom link for this course.

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.
  • a person to practice on – not for the whole 2 days, a detailed time schedule will be sent prior to the course so you can make arrangements as needed
  • massage table and linens, massage oil, and whatever makes you happy in your treatment room
  • You will need a set of cups.  If you do not have cups check out our online store on our website www.cuppingcanada.com - store
