Learning Outcomes:

Students will demonstrate proficiency in the application of cupping therapy as part of a treatment protocol to treat a variety of clinical conditions.
You will be able to take the course from the comfort of your home or office, over the internet.
What you will need is
a laptop with a camera or a computer with a webcam or a tripod for your phone/tablet and a bit of space to work in. The camera will pick up what you are doing, so a way of using it close to you and hands free will be very helpful.
a good quality internet connection
a headset or headphones with a mic (the ones that come with most phones will work well) This will stop feedback from happening when people have open microphones.
You will need a set of cups. If you do not have cups check out our online sample pack.
