Contemporary Cupping Methods teaches you a variety of techniques, using suction cups, in both static and dynamic applications - individually or with multiple cups to address multiple locations and issues. As therapists, we've all wished we had more than one set of hands to get more work done in less time – with cups you will and we will show you how. You'll walk away from these 3 days with the skills that will broaden your practice in ways that will amaze you and you'll feel prepared to do it.

Cupping is an incredible modality that among many other benefits - increases circulation, relaxes soft tissue and support, draws stagnation, pathogenic factors and toxins out of the body and releases a myriad of pain causing factors. Myofascia Release, Lymphatic Drainage and Detoxification are only 3 of the therapeutic outcomes produced during a Cupping Treatment. Another valuable asset regarding Cupping is that it feels great. The pulling action engages the parasympathetic nervous system, thus allowing a deep relaxation to move through the entire body. It is not unusual to fall asleep when receiving this treatment. Clients are surprised at how relaxed, warm and light they feel – hours... sometimes even days afterwards. The added bonus is the reduced wear and tear to the practitioner. The physical repetitive activity is tough on the Professional Bodyworker - tools used in Cupping greatly increase the practitioners’ comfort and physical longevity - thus extending the longevity of the therapists' career exponentially. This fact alone merits attention from every Bodyworker.
“Five years ago, I suffered a serious soft tissue injury to the anterior and middle deltoids, and decided on acupuncture in the initial stages because of the extreme inflammation, followed by massage therapy on weekly basis for twelve months. While my shoulder made great improvement, I was still aware of discomfort and immobility. Also, as is often the case, the ramifications for the surrounding broad region of soft tissue were profound. There remained blockages and tightness throughout the pectoral muscle, latissimus dorsi and intercostal region, as well as tightness, trigger points and deep-seated pain throughout the arm of the affected side. Using new Cupping Methods developed for the Contemporary Cupping workshop - made possible by the rubber cups - after four treatments, these symptoms which hung on so tenaciously, have all been thoroughly released. I now have complete movement with all pain syndromes resolved. I think this is a notable development in the contemporary era of cupping therapy and I am really excited about the benefits that this treatment will bring to many clients. Furthermore, I have been treating many people with long term soft tissue pain with these new cupping adaptations and the results have been rapid and excellent.” – Bruce Bentley from Health Traditions Bruce now teaches this workshop in Australia, bring Cupping Therapy to a whole new level.
In the Contemporary Cupping Methods Workshop, You will learn a range of techniques that engage negative pressure, rather than tissue compression, for superior bodywork ranging from MFR and deep tissue work to MLD and beyond. Each day consists of audio/visual presentations, lecture, Q&A, demo, then hands-on application of the treatments demonstrated during student exchange - each student will perform the treatments and receive. Students will receive a comprehensive workbook with various charts and forms. 6 different cupping sets are used in lab – EarthSpa FireCups, Kanghzu Biomagnetic Cups, EarthSpa Bells, Baguanfa Rubber Cups, the Decade Edition Haciwuxing MASC Set and the Belletazze Facial Cups. On the last day students do a class self-assessment exercise to revisit prime information, purchase their equipment and then receive workshop certification. Post workshop - associates have access to valuable documents, images, marketing materials and support. "One of the most important aspects of taking this Cupping Workshop in comparison to ANY other Cupping Class I found was that I got to retake it for FREE!!
