Teaching Theory & Application
Our instructors aren’t just teachers—they are real-world practitioners who not only know the therapy inside and out, but helped develop the fundamentals used across the practice itself.
If you’re considering expanding your practice with a deeper understanding of cupping, you’re in the right place.
Not only can Modern Cupping Therapy help you learn an efficient, patient-focused approach to this treatment,
But we can also provide the realities of how therapeutic cupping can benefit all parts of the body—from the lymphatic system to the respiratory, pulmonary and skeletal systems.
Based on Science
Focused on Safety
Other courses may teach you how and where to apply cups for therapeutic means, but few will teach you the body’s reaction to therapeutic cupping and the contraindications to look for.
At Modern Cupping Therapy Education Company, we know the physical and psychological effects that can accompany cupping, and by learning this deeper level of scientific, evidence-based information, our courses can give you the ability to know the ‘what, where and when’ of how – and who – you treat with cups.
Our in-person courses allow us to focus on the tactile and visual cues along with guided instructor interaction that might be missed on a virtual platform—teaching you how to be safe and effective every time you practice.
Expand Your Practice
with Therapeutic Cupping
Build Your Knowledge
When you expand your practice with therapeutic cupping, you’re not just gaining another bodyworking tool. You’re gaining a skill in a modality that can prolong your career and better help your clients- providing real benefits with therapeutic results that positively impact your patient’s healing and health.
Learn from Professional Bodyworkers
While cupping has become a recent health trend, not everyone should receive cupping treatment. At MCT Education Company, you learn cupping bodywork from real-life, every-day practitioners who understand the therapy and its benefits—but also its challenges. By learning from experts who know, you can increase your confidence level and provide effective sessions with little effort.
Lengthen Your Career
While offering therapeutic cupping is a great way to expand your practice offerings, the reality is that it’s also a great way to lengthen your career as a practitioner. Because cupping reaches deeper levels of soft tissue than is possible with standard body work, you can provide the same level of treatment, while reducing the pressure on your joints, wrists and thumbs.
