Feedback

I am getting such wonderful feedback and testimonials for cupping.

• • I did your sciatica treatment on a 91 yr old for whom the medical clinic referred to me to help him with sciatica pain that was debilitating for him.  After only 1 session he came back and shared he and his wife went square dancing and had not felt the pain since the cupping treament – 1 TREATMENT.  He wondered if I could remove the pain in his feet and he would feel like he was cured… he’s been singing my praises for this wonderful therapy with all their friends and I have 7 new clients in just the last 2 weeks.
  • Another gal I cupped for bursitis shared that this was the first time she’s felt relief in over a year.

Cupping has changed my practice.  I’m going to be needing help if this client surge continues…

Here are a couple cases I would like to share:

• • I have a client with chronic fatigue and lots of HT’s, and stress etc…. This morning she was exhausted and her feet were swollen.  I cupped her hands and feet with the negative magnets. Right after she came out of the massage she said that her shoes were looser and she could tell that her feet weren’t so swollen anymore. Later that afternoon I passed her at the market all rosy in the cheeks, and looking very happy – she said she felt wonderful.
  • Another client – a 16 year old girl with chronic neck/shoulder pain. She mainly holds everything stressful in her muscles, and rarely loosens up much, she also has bursitis in one of her shoulders… I have tried so many techniques with her, but Cupping was exactly what she needed. Instead of another session of pushing and pressing on her, the gentle stretching softened her up quick. She looked absolutely lethargic when she got off the table.  I spoke with her mom the next morning just to check on her and her mom said she was really relaxed and slept well the entire night – which hadn’t happened in years.

I want to share with you a couple experiences I’ve seen with cupping:

• • One of my regular clients suffers from chronic knee pain and a weird bump of tightness in her hip that happened when her first kid was born over 30 years ago. They sent her to physical therapy for it at the time but it didn’t help. I used cups all around her knee – she had a measure of relief right away and the next day felt even more relief. I did cupping on her hip with the baguanfa cups – on & around the bump that had been there for 3 decades – – and it disappeared!  She is ecstatic…
  • I have a long time client who had surgery on both wrists, one for carpal tunnel and one from a broken bone. She has not been able to fully open or close her hands in years. I placed the small baguanfa cup on the palm of each hand and left them on for about 15 minutes – when I took them off she could open and close her hands with ease and without pain! It has continued to stay that way too!

Needless to say I am very excited seeing such results happen SO quickly!

After taking the class I was so excited to get back to work and use it. The very first client I used it on was also amazed with the results we had.  She had been in an auto accident 6 months prior and was getting massage and chiropractic care to relieve the pain in her shoulders and neck. We were getting results with compression massage – but they were minimal and short lived. After her first session she felt great!  A week later I saw her again and her pain had not returned!!
I continue to have results like this one.

I have been a LMP for 7.5 years, and have been Massage Cupping for about 19 months. Every time I use this modality – I am amazed.

My specialty is deep tissue work, which can get quite uncomfortable at times. With Cupping it is not painful. It is my hope that as a licensed massage therapist I will be able to continue using Cupping for a long time.

When I added Cupping in August of 2006, I had become so familiar with how the majority of my clients’ bodies responded to the “regular” techniques that I had become accustomed to using on each, that when I incorporated cups, I was able to very clearly differentiate the results of the cupping treatments almost immediately.  When my clients got off the table and returned, the feedback I received matched my observations and palpation driven conclusions.

I just wanted to drop you a couple of lines and check in with you with some feedback on how cupping massage is going with the elderly clients @ the assisted living home. First of all, one of the challenges I had was educating them that this treatment was beneficial to their overall circulation. I am having great results, more people are signing up and I just wanted to say thank you for providing me with the skills necessary to make a difference.

My 3 yr old niece has never been “normal” in her bowel movements – lots of severe constipation, pain, enemas – it has been very difficult and now their doctor is suggesting a colostomy bag for her!  I did the procedure on her she was a little scared, laying there holding her tiny hands up in the air, but I reassured her that I would never hurt her, and told her everything that I was doing. When we got to the top of the lg intestine (location was at around 1:00), the cup became “stuck.” So, I jiggled it around to loosen it up. She said that it hurt, but no sooner that she said that it released.  Ok…

In less than 20 minutes, you wouldn’t have believed her diaper was HEAVY and my sister-in-law said that she had never seen her poop like that.  Later that evening again she filled her diaper. I am thinking that she had a twisted intestine, and even though we can’t see the intestines, I think it got straightened out, by lifting and moving.

Our family is relieved and shocked that such a simple treatment could end years of pain and frustration and give back to my niece a normal life.   Right on, Jesse.   I LOVE this stuff!

Perfect combination of presentation material mixed with w/ visual demonstrations and followed w/ hands on experiential practice.  Every part was pertinent and valuable and I appreciate the instructors ability to keep the class on track with the large volume of info, running on time while also respecting students questions and natural pacing.

Instructor was professional, respectful and organized.  This is an excellent course.

Great personalities.  Our teacher never swayed from trying to help us all get the work done correctly.  Sonia was very gracious about getting us back on course when we started to lose focus from ” chatting” in class.  I felt very comfortable as a much older participant and did not feel neglected at all. Thanks Sonia!

I was supposed to go to a Cupping class in Oregon earlier this year, but it was cancelled at the last minute.  I am actually quite thankful this happened because I feel I would not have received the experience I did at the other class.

I am VERY excited to use this in my practice.

While the class was fast paced, it’s necessary for the amount of info and topics covered within the timeframe of this workshop.  I’m looking forward to diving into the book.  This workshop is exceptional.

Mark is an amazing instructor. Half the reason I absorbed the information so well was due his teaching style.

Fantastic very informative detailed class.  Recommend to all therapists.  But be prepared for mental and physical work the entire duration of the class.

Presentation was awesome – made the information very easy to understand and apply.

Sonia was excellent – very attentive – her tips & tricks were invaluable.

I’m so happy I took this workshop.  Kristin and her teaching style are amazing and so easy to absorb – I look forward to all future workshops.

Mark is a great instructor who provided very practical experience. He was very accommodating and extremely adaptable to each situation.  He’s both a good listener and answer guy.

Most informative and well put together workshop I have EVER taken, literally Life changing information that I will apply to my practice and myself.

This has been my favorite continuing ed class so far.  Carla was organized and obviously excited to teach us, she answered all questions and is a talented therapist.  The clinical examples she shared assisted in grasping the information even more.

Packed with applicable and effective treatments, this workshop really expanded my viewpoint of what I thought I knew (in a great way), and was delivered in a format that stuck – visual, tactile and hands on – both doing the treatments and receiving we learned.

Sonia did amazing job at presenting the class.  She was clear with what we were doing, while still allowing us to figure things out throughout the treatments.

Great workshop – would love to do it again.

The most surprising part looking back was finding that cupping is more versatile in use than I thought – ex – lymphatic drainage, fascial release, foot work, facial, w/ magnets, etc.

The rich content and presentation were just EXCELLENT.

Extremely informative & the information was laid out so clearly – it definitely kept me interested & engaged during the 3 days – I signed up for the advanced workshops in class today… I cannot wait – Whoo Hoo!

This was without a doubt the very best training we’ve experienced in the UK or Europe.

Superb Workshop – I am so excited to move forward with my clients and I feel totally prepared.

This was one of the best courses I have taken – it was a phenomenal experience.

Straight forward, relaxed and enthusiastic -not pretentious at all. Material was presented in a logical, organized manner that flowed very well.  Excellent – by far the best I’ve ever taken.

This workshop was worth every penny.  Highly enjoyable and I was more than satisfied with the quality education provided.  I look forward to further education ICTA opportunities.

This is just about the finest class I can recall taking in my career.  It is the one modality that will most change my practice.  It has without a doubt transformed how I will approach and treat tissue from here on out.

I am nationally licensed for Ashiatsu and Ashi-Thai, along with my other training which I feel is extensive for the massage industry.  This presentation was the BEST!   And by far!

Contemporary Cupping Methods is my new favorite course. You learn the skills of cupping while you receive a healing detox.  I used my new techniques the following work day and my clients loved it.  The results of this work are immediately tangible and numerous… my kind of therapy!

Thorough, articulate, engaging, comfortable – very well thought out. Taking the fear out of using an implement in massage work.  The positives of this modality are huge.  I think that this modality will be incorporated into most LMP practices over time.  I am so glad I was able to get in on it at the beginning.

This workshop is far superior to the Cupping class I’d previously taken in content, techniques, equipment … pretty much in every way.  I feel so much more confident and ready to expand my money making potential now – thank you, thank you, thank you.

Everything about this class was right on. I know we learn from constructive criticism – but I honestly have none for you, sorry. This class was PERFECT.  You have really found your calling with what you are doing. I have taken a lot of continuing ED in the last 14 years and this is one of the best classes ever.

Fantastic very informative detailed class. Recommend to all therapists. But be prepared for mental and physical work the entire duration of the class.
