Cupping equipment & cupping massage training for professionals

Cupping is an alternative therapy method that has been practiced in many cultures for thousands of years. Special cupping devices are used to create a negative pressure on the skin. The skin and the underlying tissue are easily sucked in under a cupping glass. The goals of this method are to promote blood circulation, relax the muscles and stimulate the metabolism in the tissue. Cupping is perceived as soothing or generally relaxing for certain ailments (back and muscle tension). When the cupping glasses are moved over the body, one speaks of cupping massage. While in the past the vacuum on the skin was achieved by igniting burning substances (heat) or suction bells, today there are modern cupping devices such as those of the Schröpfmaster brand.

Depending on the application, different types of cupping devices have developed. Common species include traditional cupping heads made of glass or plastic, electrical devices and those made of silicone and cupping massage devices with pulsation. Traditional cupping heads create the required vacuum with fire or a pump. Modern devices offer precise control of the vacuum, especially electrical devices for cupping are well suited for this. Silicone cupping heads are flexible and soft. They also enable use in parts of the body that are not optimally accessible with cupping glasses. Cupping massage devices with pulsation combine cupping with a gentle and stimulating massage. In addition to electrical devices, they are a good option for professional use by physiotherapists and masseurs,because the precise adaptation of the vacuum to the individual skin sensitivity is possible.

Cupping helps with various symptoms such as muscle tension, back, neck and headache, joint problems and the treatment of cellulite. The effects of cupping therapy are the targeted promotion of blood circulation and the revitalization of the tissue as well as muscle relaxation, pain relief, reduction of swelling and the promotion of lymphatic drainage and the immune system. In particular, the use of cupping devices with pulsation can relieve muscle tension and cause deep relaxation. The gentle massage movements stimulate the muscles, relieve tension and thus also reduce stress. Electrical cupping devices are relatively easy to use. Nevertheless, improper attachment of the cupping devices can lead to unpleasant effects.If you have skin problems and open wounds, it is advisable to consult your doctor before therapy. A cupping therapy or cupping massage should be practiced by experienced therapists or massage therapists.

When choosing high-quality cupping devices, especially for professional use by physiotherapists and massage therapists, there are some aspects to consider. First, pay attention to the quality of materials such as medical silicone or robust plastic material. How the device lies in the hand is not insignificant. Different attachments and size options are important. Ease of use is also an important selection criterion. For therapeutic use in particular, it is important that a cupping massage device has functions such as pulsation and the option of individually adjusting the suction power. This is the case, for example, with cupping massage devices from the Cupping Master and Schröpfmaster brand.These devices make therapy work easier by the possibility of working with up to 8 cupping glasses at the same time and performing a massage in parallel with two glasses.
