Stationary cupping. In this video I'm going to be demonstrating how to perform stationary cupping. When doing stationary cupping for the back, layout a grid of eight to 12 cups on the upper or lower back. For new clients, it's recommended to play it safe and leave the cups on for five to 10 minutes to see how the client responds. Try not to go nuts their first session by overcoming and making their back look like he got attacked by an octopus. Well, the cups are parked on your clients back.

You can multitask and work on the clients Hips, legs or feet. You can leave the cuffs on longer for follow up visits, but no more than 20 minutes max. Make sure to adjust The pressure of the cup. If the pressure is painful. It's not uncommon. The stationary coffee marks can become dark red or purple.

When you're done with the stationary cups, do a little embedded cupping or light Swedish massage toward the armpits for the upper back and off toward the hips for the mid or lower back.
