Cupping Massage

Cupping massage is a vacuum-based therapy technique used in body contouring, lymphatic drainage, and anti-cellulite treatments. The procedure is based on controlled negative pressure, which stimulates microcirculation, enhances lymph flow, and accelerates cellular metabolism within subcutaneous tissues.

When performed regularly, cupping massage improves skin elasticity, reduces edema, and smooths the structure of adipose tissue. This lesson introduces participants to principles of safe work with Chinese cups, appropriate intensity selection based on tissue type, and correct cupping techniques.

The training includes theoretical instruction, video materials, step-by-step guidelines, and a certificate of completion, preparing participants to independently perform anti-cellulite cupping massage in a professional practice setting.
