Our comprehensive Cupping/ stretching Therapy Course is designed specifically for massage therapists who want to master a full range of cupping techniques and integrate fascial stretching through manipulation and movement.
Course Overview
This course introduces a research-based deep tissue approach to cupping and fascial stretching that goes far beyond traditional methods. By combining decompressive cupping therapy with movement-based fascial release, you’ll learn an efficient, evidence-driven system for reducing tension, improving mobility, and restoring healthy tissue function — all while minimizing physical strain on your hands and body.
Cupping increases circulation by lifting tissue, creating negative pressure that draws oxygen, nutrients, and proteins into the muscles and fascia. When paired with targeted fascial stretching, this approach helps break down adhesions, improve range of motion, accelerate recovery, and support the nervous system’s ability to relax and heal.
What You’ll Learn:
Dynamic Cupping – Mobilize soft tissues while enhancing circulation
Stationary Cupping – Deep, targeted release of tension areas
Deep Tissue Suction Cupping – Penetrate layers for true therapeutic depth
Facial Stretching Techniques – Combine movement with suction cupping for advanced fascia release, and learn proper end ranges
Online- you will learn everything there is to know about cupping and stretching therapies, and Relaxation Cupping
