Master Scar Tissue with Cupping Therapy

Earn 2 NCBTMB Home-Study CEs

When working as a pain relief specialist, you’ll encounter all kinds of scar tissue—old injuries, mastectomies, orthopedic surgeries, hip and knee replacements, and even amputations. These scars are more than just marks on the body—they can contribute to significant pain and discomfort for your clients. Knowing how to address them with confidence makes all the difference!

This course will teach you how to effectively use cupping techniques to support healing, ease pain, and improve the appearance of scar tissue. You’ll also learn how to modify your approach to safely work with lymphatic flow—because understanding post-surgical considerations is essential for helping your clients feel their best.

What You’ll Learn

• How to use cupping therapy to address scar tissue and help reduce pain, improve healing, and enhance the appearance of scars.
• Modifications for lymphatic flow, so you can work safely with post-surgical clients, including those with lymphedema or other lymphatic concerns.
• Pain pattern management tied to scars, complementing techniques from my Neuromuscular Cupping Therapy course.
• When and how to work with specific scars, including mastectomy, orthopedic, and amputation scars, as well as understanding when it’s best to avoid cupping altogether.

Course Overview

This course strikes a perfect balance between manual therapy and cupping techniques, with a focus on using glass bulb cups to treat scar tissue. You’ll explore both dynamic cupping techniques—perfect for areas with more complex pain patterns, such as the hips—and stationary cupping to target specific scar sites.

With these tools, you’ll be able to:

• Work confidently with post-surgical scars to relieve pain and support healing.
• Address both the superficial and deeper layers of scar tissue, enhancing the appearance and mobility of scars.
• Modify your techniques for safe, effective lymphatic flow management, helping clients feel their best after surgery.

Course Format

• All video-based: Watch detailed demonstrations of cupping techniques in action.
• Quiz for Certification: Earn 2 NCBTMB home-study CEs by passing the course quiz.
• Certificate of Completion: Upon passing, follow the course instructions to request your CE certificate.

Who Should Take This Course?

This course is designed for:

• Bodyworkers who are familiar with cupping or have taken the Neuromuscular Cupping Therapy course (though it’s not a strict prerequisite).
• Practitioners ready to expand their knowledge of scar tissue treatments, including working with mastectomy, amputation, and orthopedic scars—something you won’t find in many other cupping courses.

If you’re new to cupping, we highly recommend completing an introductory cupping course to learn the safety essentials, contraindications, and proper disinfection protocols before diving into this training.
