What is the course about?

In this professional cupping certificate course Steve Bailey will give you step-by-step guidance on applying modern cupping therapy to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. Records show that the traditional use of cupping dates back as far as early human civilization and over the millenniums its popularity has grown and waned in different parts of the world. In recent years there has been a resurgence in the use of cupping in Western countries, partly because of high-profile celebrities and athletes undergoing cupping treatment. Since the 2016 Olympics, athletes such as Michael Phelps the multi-gold medallist swimmer and gymnast Alex Naddour were treated with cupping and reported benefits of cupping on recovery of injuries and reduction in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) following competition.
