Cupping Massage and Moxibustion Diploma

Massage cupping is based on an ancient technique. This one-day course is a modified version and you will learn to examine and how to apply negative pressure. Massage cupping can help alleviate pain, decrease swelling, increase range of motion and speed up the healing process. By creating negative pressure above the surface of the tissues, we decrease the pressure on the tissues, allowing the tissue to be lifted upwards and changing the pressure on underlying tissues, such as nerves, capillaries and fascia.

During this Massage Cupping Diploma workshop we will outline the theory and actions of massage cupping, the tools used to perform the technique and the basics of using the tools safely and effectively. Participants will learn how negative pressure massage cupping can release rigid soft tissue, loosen adhesions and lift connective tissue, bringing blood flow to skin and muscles. Included will be ways this technique can be used to stimulate lymphatic flow, decreasing swelling and increasing circulation to injured tissues. At the end of the day participants will leave the seminar armed with an additional useful technique that is non-invasive, painless and effective.
