Discover the ancient art of fire cupping in this hands-on, 1-day CPD-accredited course with experienced therapist and tutor Jeni Broughton. Designed for massage therapists, sports therapists, and bodyworkers, this course offers a safe, practical introduction to fire cupping techniques you can integrate into your practice immediately. You’ll learn how to use flame to create suction within glass cups, drawing stagnant energy, blood, and tension away from muscles and soft tissue. Unlike silicone or vacuum cupping, fire cupping delivers a deeper, more traditional therapeutic effect—helping to relieve muscular pain, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support relaxation. The day includes a blend of theory, demonstrations, and extensive practice under supervision. You'll be guided through safe application, contraindications, and effective treatment protocols for common muscular issues. Held in Nottingham, this course attracts therapists from all over the UK looking to expand their skill set and stand out in the growing field of integrative therapy. Whether you're new to cupping or want to deepen your existing skills, this course offers a supportive and engaging learning environment. Leave with the confidence to apply fire cupping safely, ethically, and effectively in your clinic or practice. The course also covers the use of hydraulic cupping and the qualification covers both.
