Date: Jan 18, 2025

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 for Upper Body conditions.

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.

We provide you with information on how to treat upper body common client complaints by using Cupping Therapy for the overall outcome of your client’ 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 clients' 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. 

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.

 ****Weekend classes are from 3:30 to 7:30 pm EST.  Week day classes are from 6-10pm ET*****

Lucinda S.

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.

Sarah G.

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

Steven W.

I attended a IASTM upper body seminar on March 12024. The class was fun, the instructor were knowledgeable and had great energy.
