Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy has been used for centuries across the different continents for healing. The KORE Academy has brought it into the 21st century by modernizing its use for present day Western clients and their conditions. This therapy involves the using of warm suction glass jars on an oiled body as a therapeutic massage system, designed to treat a wide range of physical problems from pain and muscle spasms to cellulite, colds and flu.

Oil is applied to the body with massage strokes to loosen up the tissue; the cups are then applied over the oil on the part of the body to be treated, then the cups are moved in particular ways to produce a hot deeply healing, stimulating and drawing massage.

The cups are warmed and applied to the body by creating a vacuum. The suction and warmth have a dramatic effect on the immune system of the body by moving blood and lymph and stimulating the muscle and spinal nerves. Students will learn to apply the cups to the back, shoulders, legs, joints and stomach for a variety of conditions.
