Traditional Cupping Workshops with Dr. Bruce Bentley

For the very first time in North America!

Cupping is a specialized method of treatment that requires expert instruction, backed by the kind of deep interest and decades of research and practice that inspired us to present the world’s first cupping workshops. Cupping has become one of the most popular practices for therapists and clients because it achieves excellent results and is very enjoyable to receive. For the practitioner, it is time efficient, has many interesting methods and applications, allows the therapist to concentrate on more than one part of the body when the cups are stationary, and also importantly, eliminates the hard work and strain often felt with bodywork. From the wonderful Russian Cupping Massage to the diverse ways the Chinese use cups to promote health and alleviate many forms of discomfort – these are only a part of what you will learn and confidently take from this very hands-on practical Master Class to your practice.

Some of the highlights of Traditional East/West Cupping workshop are:
• A History of Cupping
• The most refined way of applying cups and diagnosis
• The five vacuum levels of cupping
• Russian Cupping Massage
• Greek and Bulgarian Cupping treatments
• Warming & tonification cupping for lower back weakness
• Chinese & Vietnamese stationary and sliding cup applications
• Chinese acu-cupping for painful shoulders plus an accompanying massage sequence throughout the legs
• Flash cupping method to restore flaccid soft tissue
