This module builds the essential anatomical and safety framework for effective fire cupping practice. Learners will explore how Traditional Chinese Medicine views the body through meridians, Qi pathways, and organ system relationships, and how these maps guide where and why cups are placed. The session also covers critical clinical preparation — screening, contraindications, and client communication — to ensure treatments are both safe and therapeutically appropriate.

In Module 2, the focus shifts from theory to hands-on clinical application. The instructor demonstrates exactly how to prepare, light, and place cups safely and confidently. Learners are shown how to sequence treatment, how much suction to use, and how to adjust cupping intensity based on patient presentation. The module breaks down key technical details: selecting cup size, maintaining flame distance, correct negative pressure, and how to glide cups without breaking the seal. Emphasis is placed on assessment and real-time clinical decision making—identifying where stagnation exists, interpreting tissue response, and modifying technique to achieve therapeutic change. Specific body regions are demonstrated, showing how cupping can be used locally or along a meridian pathway to influence a broader pattern of dysfunction. By the end of this module, learners will be confident in performing static and dynamic cupping techniques safely and effectively in a clinical setting.
