Hello! I have put together this class for experienced lymphatic massage therapists who enjoy cupping and would like to add cupping to their sessions with clients recovering from liposuction.

We will look at different types of cupping and how to incorporate them in a massage session on a client recovering from liposuction.

This is NOT a Cupping 101 class.

I will be showing you most of the cupping techniques using a cupping machine, so please do NOT take the class if you do not have any cups at all or only have access to silicone cups.

I highly recommend taking an intro to cupping class BEFORE signing up for this class. I took the ACE medicupping class when I was just beginning my career as a massage therapist. Watch a video of the instructor teaching here: https://youtu.be/477Ycy0dInA

I do NOT recommend cupping on clients after abdominoplasty.

This class is ONLY for liposuction of the abdomen, back and arms (techniques for the arms can be applied to the legs).

I cover cupping techniques for the face in the facelift class and for chin liposuction in this video: https://youtu.be/2WCvAoHn-Jk
