I had cupping done for the first time today. I injured my lumbar spine four years ago and since then my back muscles have weakened and I deal with severe muscle spasms, knots, tightness etc. Muscle relaxers have worn off and now my massage therapist is using cupping. It is effective in a short amount of time. And reduce the knots quickly. It did hurt a bit but it's kind of good pain. To me it felt like the knots were being squeezed until released. Overall I feel great and am happy there's other options for me. I'm tired of taking pills. I might look into chiropractor as well. Good luck to me. ☺️
@Core Elements Training update: I started seeing a chiropractor two months ago, and my spine has been corrected!! I feel a thousand times better, and my posture is better. I still get cupping one a month because my upper back is adjusting to my corrected spine. I have stiffness and tightness. I started stretching, and it took the upper back pain away. Overall, I am so happy for myself. I don't take any pain meds anymore. Hallelujah 🥰🥰
Thank you for your videos Dawn. Can you tell me what is the benefit of using a flash technique as opposed to leaving longer, than avoiding visible marks? Does the flash techniques perform anything differently to the skin and muscles as opposed to being kept on long-term? Should they be used in the transverse processes and what about areas where there are nerves, I’m assuming you should avoid? This is so interesting. Thank you so much and much blessing to you and your teaching/business.
Hi Sof, Glad the video is useful. Yes with effective cleaning using antibacterial and antiviral spray and soaking, you can reuse the cups 👍. Hope this helps Dawn
Hi Ali, We run a Live Online CPD course (via zoom), for therapists. In the next couple of months I’ll have a fully online course available also. Here’s the link to our course page - coreelements.uk.com/dry-cupping-therapy-certificate-course/ Thanks Dawn
You need to consider if the person receiving cupping has any side effects of diabetes, such as brittle or more sensitive skin. If they do, you shouldn't use cups in these areas.
Hi Maya A May, In this video I use the Dong Bang 17 piece cupping kit. I also use this kit in my clinic, along with the 17 piece Hansol kit.

Purely from a physiological POV (not to be mean) isn't cupping kind of useless for overweight people? Simplified, I believe the layers go 'skin, fat, facia, muscle'. The main target of cupping is to sort of reverse-massage the facia and muscle tissue, but the more fat that is in-between the skin and the facia, the less effective the cupping is at a constant pressure. Infact, I would argue that it's effectiveness scales logarithmically in the range x=0 to x=infinity, sort of tending towards zero. Simply put, i think if you're skinny with muscular issues, then this is a very good option of treatment for you.
Hi Sparky, the amount of suction can be adapted to suit different body tones and sensitivity. Yes the cups to work on the muscle tissue and produce a stretch reflex to trigger relaxation within this tissue, along with the skin along with connective fascia. As you likely know superficial fascia is found directly under the skin and superficial adipose layers. The fascia intertwines and in women on the legs the adipose tissue can push between the fascia to produce the appearance of cellulite. If there is more adipose, it doesn't mean that the fascia will not be effected by the cups, but it may mean that you need to use more suction to hit the muscle tissue. However as the fascia is connected to the muscle tissue, by lifting up on the fascia this can also trigger a stretch effect on the muscle tissue below, even if the 'cup' hasn't reached the muscle layer. I hope this helps.
Hi Owen, Price really depends on your area. Look around at others and price in a similar way if you are qualified in this modality. Plus yes you can use within combination therapy (with deep tissue at the same time), or as a stand alone therapy. Hope this helps 👍
@@CoreElementsTraining Thank you for the response. I think it's your company I'm going to actually book the course with 😂 I've just used it on myself and I have some areas that are really red /purple after the cupping, does that mean the area needed a lot of treatment or is it down to the skin and the person
@@owencook6796 darker marks often mean more tension within the muscle tissue 👍. You don’t want to leave the cups on so that the marks are too dark. But in first treatment, where there is a lot of tension it’s common fir the marks to last around 7 - 10 days. Our curses currently run face to face or Live Online 👍 and both formats are accredited and insurable for clinical use. Hope this helps

Hi Michael, Here’s the link to our Dry Cupping CPD course page. The course is available face to face and Live Online, plus soon it will be available as a fully accredited online course too (in about 2-3 weeks). 👉 coreelements.uk.com/dry-cupping-therapy-certificate-course/ Hope this helps Dawn
You can complete 2 or 3 rounds of flash cupping depending on the amount of tension and treatment time available/ treatment area size. No it doesn’t damage the spinal area. You should constantly communicate with the person to ensure comfort and to adjust tension.
