Description
Most therapists use pressure created by their fingers, wrists and body weight. Massage cupping therapists use suction created by the cups to provide a negative pressure, allowing you to work MUCH, MUCH deeper with no client discomfort and NO STRAIN on your body. In this dynamic course, you will learn a full body lymphatic drainage treatment using the cups. (No more compression bandages – remember, you are using negative pressure!) You will also learn a terrific non-surgical face-lift technique using facial cups. You will leave the class with several brand new protocols to market in your practice. You will have an opportunity to find out about a variety of massage cups.
