Join us online for this hands-on training and learn how to provide quick and effective pain management for the enhanced mobility of your clients with Cupping Therapy. This Advanced course is for those who have already taken a Cupping course and would like to elevate their practice with Cupping with Movement! You will need a set of cups.  If you do not have cups check out our online sample pack.

Learn to provide quick and effective pain management resulting in enhanced mobility of your patients in this Advanced Cupping course!  Cupping Therapy fits perfectly into wellness activities and this course will provide you with practical ways in which your patients can retain benefits between treatments. Your knowledge of exercise rehabilitation will enhance your absorption of the Advanced techniques taught in this course, which will increase the efficacy of movement exercises for your patients. We will explore remedial and rehabilitative exercises and movements and review self-care techniques for homecare programs.

Our Advanced course explores trigger point work, myofascial release, functional mobility, and movement exercises.

  • Trigger point work, used before cupping, can allow you to release muscular tissue and thereby enhance the performance of stationary or dynamic cups.
  • Myofascial release works slow and steady, applying a vacuum force on the tissue that is steady and reliable. It's effects on the tissue and neurological system will be explored.
  • Functional movement of the body may be indicated in your cupping session, and we will demonstrate ways of increasing range of motion in your clients by testing for range of movement both before and after cupping is utilized.

     

    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.
    • a person to practice on – if you are isolating, no worries you can practice on yourself!
    • massage table and linens, massage oil, and whatever makes you happy in your treatment room.  If you do not have a partner this is not necessary but could make it easier to practice on yourself
    • You will need a set of cups.  If you do not have cups check out our online sample pack.
    • Hydrogen peroxide – if you are able to access it above 7.5% from a hydroponics store or a pool supply store. It is not mandatory for the course but required for disinfection once you begin working with clients again, so it is good to have on hand.

    *****The weekend dates are from 3:30-7:30 PM ET.  The week day courses are from 6:00-10:00 PM ET ****

    I attended the massage conference in Calgary. I purchased the gentle / soft cup to be able to use on my older clients and paediatric clients. Cupping Canada both was always busy. But alway managed to answer all questions. This is an amazing company to work with. I really enjoy all of there products and courses.

    Absolutely phenomenal! The self cupping course was as fun as it was educational, and I love the self care cupping set I purchased. It’s definitely worth the purchase as it helps me release any tightness. Will definitely purchase more in the future

    Chelsea I.

    I REALLY like the soft cups! Hard to find and better for tactile defensive folks. So far they hold up to many uses, wash up nicely and are comfortable. Great shipping, easy ordering-THANKS!

    Darshana E.

    I had such a fun time with the Evidence Informed Clinical Cupping course. Paul was very knowledgeable and kept the class fun. I left the course feeling confident with my new skills!

    Breah W.

    I participated in the 60-minute cupping series and it was eye-opening! I had been lightly exposed to cupping in massage school and practiced a little bit on friends and family, but this class inspired me to sign up for their Evidence Based Clinical Cupping course in May. I can’t wait to learn more and then practice my new skills in a clinical setting with my clients
