Cupping Program for Padel Players
Smash
This session is designed for your paddle game such as a warm-up, recovery and/or prehab. Padel involves explosive movements in various directions, so it can be beneficial to cup before playing to make the body soft and warm to minimize the risk of injuries. Feel free to cup your calves to make them soft and fast, and around the knees and shoulders to try to prevent stretching or other injuries. Preparing the body by warming up also makes you more present and attentive – which can lead to better games!
Cupping is also good for speeding up the body’s recovery after a tough match and for making your body more mobile and flexible. The program guides you to access the places on the body that take extra beatings from paddle games. For example, calves and shoulders. Grab your paddle partner and establish cupping as a rule of thumb.
Of course, the session works just as well for various racquet sports!

Cupping Program for CrossFit Athletes
Hard recovery pays off
Training multifunctionally is fun, and demanding. Make your hard training more durable by not cheating with prehab, warming up or slowing down. This program is uniquely developed for CrossFit and serves as an alternative to other prep and/or downsizing options such as the use of foam rollers, massage ball and massage gun. The session is for you who want to optimize your recovery, get rid of slag products and improve mobility and endurance. Or to help tired and overworked forearms and traps to relax.
In CrossFit, the areas around the shoulders, knees and hip flexors are strained and used frequently. To minimize the risk of injury, it is beneficial to use this program as a warm-up before the hard physical exertion that awaits.
Introduce cupping as a recovery method for your workouts and experience the difference in the next metcon!

Cupping Program for Cross-Country Skiers
Track Flow
After a day on the trails, your body deserves some extra care. Whether you’ve pushed through miles of sparkling winter landscapes, powered up tough climbs, or enjoyed the perfect glide in freshly groomed tracks – your muscles have been working hard. Your shoulders, core, and arms absorb the strain of each pole push, while your lower legs and feet handle balance and power transfer. When fatigue sets in, technique suffers, making your skiing less efficient – and this is where cupping comes in.
This session helps loosen stiff muscles, enhance recovery, and keep your body ready for another day on the trails. By increasing circulation and releasing tension, both technique and skiing experience improve – whether you’re chasing speed, flow, or simply a beautiful day in nature.
Take a moment for recovery, cup your body, and enjoy the effects – your next ski tour will thank you.
Use Static Cups + Dynamic & Mini Dynamic Cups + Curam Body & Massage Oil
Cup feet
- Place the static cups under each foot and lie down to relax your legs and lower back, 1-3 minutes.
Cup front Lower legs and calves
- Divide the calves into sections: outer line, back, and inner line.
- Place the static cups on the front of the lower leg. This area often becomes tense when skiing, especially during intense poling.
- Use the mini dynamic cup if available, or the dynamic cup along the outer line (outer lower leg), moving over the muscle running from below the knee down to the ankle. This muscle works hard to stabilize the foot and maintain balance while skiing. Perform smooth gliding strokes 3-5 times.
- Continue with 3-5 gliding strokes per section on the back and inner lines.
- Start as low as possible and cup upwards toward the knee.
- Reduce suction by releasing some vacuum if the movement feels too tight or intense. Move slowly for a soothing effect.
- Finish by removing the static cups from the front and using the dynamic cup there if desired.
- If you don’t have static cups, use the dynamic cup and finish by leaving the cup in place on the outer lower leg, near the knee, for 1 minute, then on the front of the lower leg for another minute after cupping all sections of the calves.
Cup outer and front thighs
- Divide the thigh into three sections: outer line, front, and inner line.
- Place the static cups along the outer line, toward the front of the thigh, just ahead of the IT band running down the outer leg. Leave for 1-3 minutes.
- At the same time, use the dynamic cup to glide from the knee slowly up toward the hip, then from the inner knee toward the groin. Repeat 3-5 times per section.
- Finish by removing the static cups and using the dynamic cup along the outer section, gliding from the knee upwards 3-5 times.
- If you don’t have static cups, use the dynamic cup and finish by leaving it in place on the outer knee or hip joint for 1 minute after cupping all sections of the thigh.
Cup back and glutes
- Place the static cups on either side of the spine in the lower back and leave for 1-3 minutes.
- While they work, use the dynamic cup to cup the glutes.
- Glide the cup from the hip bone toward the sacrum. Repeat 3-5 times, slowly and gently.
- Cup from the sit bone up over the glutes toward the lower back. Repeat 3-5 times.
- Repeat on the other hip and glute. You can move the static cups one level higher on the lower back while cupping the opposite side to cover a larger area.
Cup Latissimus Dorsi
- Use the dynamic cup along the sides of the torso, gliding from the lower ribs (waist area) up toward the armpit. Repeat 3-5 times per side.
- Then place the static cups behind the armpit, near the shoulder blade. This is where the large back muscle, “the lats,” is located – an essential muscle for skiing, often called the “poling muscle.”
- While the static cups remain in place for 1-3 minutes, add a stretch, such as Child’s Pose, to enhance mobility while the cups do their work.
Cup neck
- Place the static cups over the neck muscles at the tops of the shoulders and leave them for 1-3 minutes.
- Stretch gently by tilting one ear toward the shoulder, holding briefly, then switching sides.
Cup shoulders and chest muscles
- Place the static cups on each shoulder blade and leave for 1-3 minutes.
- Use the mini dynamic cup on the front of the chest if available. The dynamic cup also works, but adjust for lighter suction over the chest and glide gently from the sternum outward toward the shoulder. Perform 3-5 strokes per side.
Cup arms
Use the mini dynamic cup or dynamic cup, gliding from the wrist toward the armpit.
- Divide the arm into three sections: forearm, upper arm, and the back of the upper arm.
- Glide the dynamic cup from the wrist along the forearm up to the elbow, covering the entire forearm. Repeat 3-5 times.
- Then glide from the elbow up to the shoulder, covering the entire upper arm. Repeat 3-5 times.
- Finish by gliding from the elbow along the back of the upper arm, moving over the triceps into the armpit. Repeat 3-5 times.
- For deep relaxation, place the static cups on the back of the upper arms (triceps), lie on your back, and hold your elbows with your arms overhead resting on the floor. This stretches the triceps while the cups release tension in these hard-working poling muscles.

Lymphatic Drainage Cupping Program
Face Lymph Activation Ritual
Begin every facial cupping session by activating key lymphatic drainage points to “open the flow” of the lymphatic system. This helps create space for fluid and metabolic waste to move when circulation increases, supporting the drainage effect you want to achieve in the face.
This step should always be done, regardless of which facial area you plan to treat or which program you follow. If you experience puffiness, congestion or tenderness, you can gently pump the areas a few extra times.
To set the tone, spray a small amount of Curam Face & Massage Oil Wooden Flower into your hands and take a slow breath. Apply the oil to the face and neck before using the cup.
The face is sensitive. Always begin gently, preferably in front of a mirror to observe immediate reactions. Sensitive skin or a tendency to bruise may result in temporary marks.
Use: Face Cup + Face Oil
1. Activate Key Drainage Points
- Place the cup in the hollow above the collarbone.
- Gently pump the cup so it attaches and releases.
- Repeat 5–10 times.
- Place the cup just below the ear, close to the jawline.
- Pump in the same way.
- Repeat 5–10 times.
2. Drain the Neck
- Connect these points by gliding the cup from below the ear, down along the neck toward the collarbone.
- Repeat 3–5 times.
- Vary slightly forward and backward along the neck to cover a larger surface area.
- Continue with the facial areas you wish to treat, following your chosen program.
3. Finish with Lymphatic Strokes
- Place the cup at the top of the forehead near the hairline.
- Glide along the hairline and down toward the collarbones.
- Repeat 3–5 times.
Release Frown Lines Cupping Program
Release forehead and frown lines
While laughing, frowning, and extreme facial expressions should have little to no effect on your eyebrows and facial muscles when you are younger, they start to affect your face as you age. The skin becomes looser and due to the loss of collagen. Cupping is one way to boost your collagen production and a natural alternative to tighten the skin on your forehead. The session will also help you get a more relaxed face, with less tension. Relaxation is the new black!
Since the face is very sensitive, it’s important to start gently, preferably in front of a mirror, to observe any immediate reactions. If you have sensitive skin, are prone to bruising, or have any imbalances in the body, this may manifest as marks appearing after facial cupping.
Use the Face cup, Face Mini cup + the Face oil
You can use the Face Mini cup to work with the fine lines better
- Start with lymphatic drainage
- Place the Face cup or the Face Mini cup in the middle of the forehead and slide the cup horizontally along the forehead and move it outwards towards the hairline. Repeat 3-5 times.
- Place the Face cup or Face Mini cup between the eyebrows, slide it up vertically and release. Repeat 3-5 times. In case of wrinkle between eyebrows, you can squeeze the cup a little bit extra to attach harder and leave it over the wrinkle for a second before you slide it up.
- Work your way out along the brow to treat the entire forehead in the same way, vertically. Repeat 3-5 times in each place.
- Finish with lymph drainage.
- Repeat on the other side of the face
Naturally Plumper and Firmer Skin
A session that will boost your collagen production and stimulate your blood and lymph circulation for; a less swollen and puffy, help you get a more relaxed face with less tensions and achive a firmer and smoother skin, and a more defined and sculpted jawline for a natural lift.
A double chin can be caused by accumulation of fluid and fat. Stagnation, age, diet, genetic and posture can play a role in developing this extra layer of fat. Cupping can help liposysis (degradation of fat cells) and tighten the skin. A nice session to do in the morning to depuff you face and get a natural lift. We suggest you to drink some extra water after the session to help your lymphatic system even more.

Natural Face Lift Cupping Program
Self-care, lymph massage, anti-ageing face lifting massage, call it what you want, we love it and hope you will do it too!
The lymphatic system relies on muscle contraction, diet, exercise, and physical manipulation to function normally. Unlike the bloodcirculation system, your lymphatic system doesn’t have its own pump. That’s where lymphatic massage comes in.
You have a high concentration of lymph nodes in your face and neck, so specific movements can help encourage flow. When there’s tension in the face muscles, or the lymphatic system is a little sluggish, it can result in puffiness in the face as well as other areas of the body. By using cupping massage it’s possible to help drain the fluids more efficiently. To help the body do what it’s meant to do: heal. At the same time, the face can get a natural lift with more elasticity and firmer skin, completely naturally without injections or intervention.
Since the face is very sensitive, it’s important to start gently, preferably in front of a mirror, to observe any immediate reactions. If you have sensitive skin, are prone to bruising, or have any imbalances in the body, this may manifest as marks appearing after facial cupping.

De-Puff Eyes Cupping Program
Facial cupping is a gentle lymphatic massage that can help reduce puffiness, enhance the skin’s radiance, and create a smoother appearance. By gently stretching the skin, you stimulate collagen and elastin, which can contribute to firmer and healthier skin.
The face and neck contain a high concentration of lymph nodes, and with specific movements, you can effectively stimulate lymphatic flow. When facial muscles are tense or the lymphatic system is sluggish, it can lead to puffiness in the face and other parts of the body. Cupping massage can help drain fluid and promote better balance.
This program is perfect for reducing puffiness around the eyes while giving your skin some extra care!
