Master Myofascial Cupping from Udemy

Have you ever thought “is cupping really working?” while treating? Or while getting out your cups, fumbled with an explanation of how they work when your client asks? If so, you are in the right place.

Cupping has been gaining popularity rapidly, particularly after the last Olympics when several athletes were seen with the classic red circle marks of cupping. Celebrities are on the bandwagon as well. All of this is for good reason. The health benefits to be had from the regular use of myofascial cupping therapy are vast.

Many massage therapy programs are now teaching basic cupping techniques as part of their program, and if not, taking a cupping course is usually one of the first courses taken for CE credits by many therapists. This course is the next level. I will be going over key concepts such as:

How to accurately identify myofascial adhesions
How to painlessly and quickly treat adhesions
The most up to date research on how cupping works
How to seamlessly add cupping into your treatment plan

I have been using cups as a regular part of treatment for almost a decade. I have treated hundreds of patients, and through that experience, I have developed a technique that has given me the fastest, longest lasting and most reliable results when using cups.

This course is designed to build a strong foundation for using myofascial cups. I will show you how to go beyond treating general myofascial adhesions. I have thoughtfully and painstakingly put together the most comprehensive course on myofascial cupping, but it all starts with assessment.

As an instructor at one of the most successful massage colleges in Canada, I have realized that identifying and assessing myofascial adhesions is the hardest concept to grasp. This course demonstrates the exact technique on how to do so with complete clarity.
