Massage Cupping Therapy (7 hrs)
Remedial Massage Cupping
7 Hours CE/CPD | Online Course with Rebecca “Becky” Tyler OST SMT PT
Remedial Massage Cupping is a practical online course designed to help therapists integrate decompression-based soft tissue techniques into modern remedial massage and rehabilitation-focused treatment sessions.
Remedial Massage Cupping is presented by Rebecca “Becky” Tyler OST SMT PT and focuses on static, dynamic, and movement-based cupping approaches that can be adapted to real-world clinical practice.
The course is designed to help practitioners think beyond simple cup placement, with an emphasis on movement, tissue glide, pressure selection, client comfort, treatment pacing, and clinical reasoning.
Course Overview
Across this 7-hour CE/CPD course, Rebecca Tyler demonstrates how remedial massage cupping can be integrated naturally into hands-on treatment sessions. The focus is on practical application, thoughtful treatment planning, and the use of cups as part of a broader therapeutic approach rather than as a rigid or isolated modality.
Participants will explore how decompression-based techniques differ from compressive soft tissue methods and how cupping may be used to support tissue mobility, movement quality, treatment comfort, and client-centred care.
The course combines practical demonstrations with supporting learning materials, helping practitioners develop calmer, more responsive approaches to treatment that prioritize safety, communication, adaptability, and professional reasoning.
