Georg Kreuzberger - Schröpfmaster

My name is Georg Kreuzberger, inventor, developer, and manufacturer of the Schröpfmaster cupping devices.

Since 2011, cupping massage, the development and construction of the best cupping devices, and the conscientious training of masseurs, beauticians, and physiotherapists for horses and dogs have been my calling.

As is often the case, all of my activities throughout my life have prepared me for my true vocation.

My personal experience in 2010:

Due to a “frozen shoulder,” I was only able to lift my right arm horizontally. The condition was chronic and worsening. Surgery seemed inevitable. After eight cupping treatments (once a week), I was pain-free, and the mobility of my arm was fully restored and sustainable.

In 2010, I met Sabine Peyer-Thomschitz and her cupping and massage center in Vienna. Since 2000, cupping massage has been the only treatment offered there. With 2-3 employees and her mother, this is the only way to handle the demand from customers! I started working with Sabine and witnessed how especially women achieved a new quality of life within a few weeks. What could be more beautiful? This gave my life a new purpose.

I worked with Sabine for 16 months. Before that, I had completed my massage training at the Herricht Institute. Now I had also completed my internship. For Sabine, I built three cupping devices. My cupping devices are significantly quieter and more beautiful. This was the birth of the idea. Sabine and I continue to work well together.

The name was clear to me from the beginning (2011): “SCHRÖPFMASTER.”

Due to my technical training as an automotive technician and experience in building high-end speakers (Consensus Audio), I had the know-how to create a quiet cupping device.

After the development phase, I passed the trade exam for mechatronics in 2011. The special glasses are made individually according to my designs in laboratory glass quality. In 2011, I developed and built the Schröpfmaster lemon for cosmetic applications. In 2015, the Schröpfmaster detox with pulsation was created, allowing for pulsating work with up to 8 glasses. The Cuppingmaster pulse was developed in 2022, my absolute favorite device because it has 2 pumps, allowing for independent regulation of the vacuum strength for 8 pulse glasses and the cupping glasses for cupping massage.

I saw that it was good!

Last but not least, it is my artistic heart (15 years of painting portraits…) with which I am a masseur “from the heart – through the hands,” building the Schröpfmaster devices, working on the design, logos, texts, flyers, and Schröpfmaster training, refining and designing, so that my clients have an easier time spreading their seeds for growth and success and turning them into reality.

As a masseur and technician, I can now say: The work is complete!

When I thought I was done with everything, I started developing a cupping device for horses in 2018. The problem was that the vacuum would be lost on the fur. Additionally, dust and hair should not contaminate the pump. But I found solutions to all of these problems!

Since then, the first professional articles on the topic of “cupping on horses” (with the “Cuppingmaster hippo”) have been published worldwide in specialized journals.

In Switzerland, Austria, Germany, the USA, and South Africa, equine physiotherapists and masseurs use the Schröpfmaster hippo. With the necessary empathy and expertise from excellent equine physiotherapists, I happily treat horses and share my knowledge and experience for the well-being of these wonderful animals.

But that wasn’t enough: In 2024, I had the idea to build a backpack cupping device for easier handling when cupping horses: The hose will be only 1 meter long instead of 4.5 meters. Cables and power outlets will be eliminated because it runs on a battery. The new Schröpfmaster equine is currently in the testing phase.

I consider it a noble and rewarding task to train beauticians, masseurs, and physiotherapists for this special field. And to give them a tool that makes their work easier and delights their clients. Ultimately, it is purpose, success, and joy that allow us to start anew every day.

I look forward to meeting you!
