Safety, contraindications, and proper application techniques will be emphasized throughout, ensuring that your clients receive effective and personalized care.

We’ll also cover specialized treatment plans for different bodily injuries, allowing you to adapt cupping to various client needs.

The practical component of the course will give you plenty of time to practice cupping techniques on fellow participants, receiving feedback from experienced instructors.
