Cupping I

Cupping I: Introduction to Massage Cupping
Two Day Workshop | 14 CEs for Oregon LMTs

Cupping is an age old method of bodywork and is becoming more and more popular in the US due to its effectiveness and because it feels great to receive. Cups are attached to the body via negative pressure, and can be used stationary or moved along the skin.

The gentle lifting of the soft tissue can release adhesions, decrease stagnation in body fluids and Qi, and stimulate the skin. Cupping also engages the parasympathetic nervous system, quickly facilitating deep relaxation. As a treatment method, cupping is very safe, inexpensive, easy to learn, and very easy on the practitioner’s body.

Workshop material will include:

  • safety for the client and practitioner
  • effects of cupping treatments
  • flash cupping & ah shi (pain point) cupping
  • stationary & moving/gliding cupping
  • a general cupping massage sequence
  • two different treatment strategies for colds & flu
  • incorporating cupping into your practice

By the end of this workshop, you’ll be able safely, confidently, and effectively integrate  cupping with  whatever style of bodywork you do – Swedish, Thai, deep tissue, myofascial release, Shiatsu, lymphatic drainage…the possibilities and applications are endless.
