OVERVIEW
Cupping for the Modern Practitioner is organized by Niel Asher Education.
Cupping therapy can be a valuable addition to massage, manual therapy, rehabilitation, and integrative bodywork practice when applied with clear understanding, appropriate pressure, and careful clinical reasoning.
Cupping for the Modern Practitioner is a practical online course designed for therapists with or without previous cupping experience, introducing the primary mechanisms, therapeutic benefits, pressure considerations, contraindications, and hands-on applications of modern cupping therapy.
Presented by Vicki Ramsdell, LMT, this course combines Eastern cupping knowledge, Thai Medical Massage principles, Traditional Chinese Medicine influences, and modern cupping techniques into a structured approach for professional practice.|
Course Overview
Across this 3.5-hour CE/CPD course, participants will explore the foundational principles and practical applications of cupping therapy, including how cupping works, when it may be appropriate, how pressure is managed, and how safety considerations guide treatment.
The course includes more than 2.5 hours of HD video tutorials presented by Vicki Ramsdell, demonstrating step-by-step cupping techniques for common conditions and treatment goals.
Participants will study cupping applications for asthma, frozen shoulder syndrome, sciatica and sciatic pain, ITB syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and trigger points, while also learning how to adapt treatment based on client response, comfort, and professional scope.
Supported by course notes, an illustrated cupping guide, a companion learning course, lesson quizzes, online exam, certificate of completion, and lifetime access, this course provides a structured and practical introduction to cupping for modern therapeutic practice.
