Cupping is a therapeutic technique used in massage therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. Cupping is believed to promote healing, improve blood flow, and relieve muscle tension. Cupping is thought to work by increasing blood circulation and stimulating the flow of energy (qi) within the body. It is often used to address conditions such as muscle pain, stiffness, and inflammation. Cupping can also be combined with other massage techniques to enhance its effects. In this class you will be introduced to the basic techniques of cupping and how to apply them to your clients.
