The Complete Guide To Cupping Therapy Book Review

The Complete Guide To Cupping Therapy Book Review

My name is Anita van der Scheer and I’m a sports- and massage therapist from the Netherlands.
One of the modalities to treat my clients with is cupping therapy.

Dr. Tamer's “Complet Guide to Cupping Therapy” has been a great aid in helping my clients. It’s an excellent reference for all kinds of Health Practioners and a clear resource to have on hand.

This Guide provides a straightforward insight in the history and practice of cupping therapy and the illustrations show clearly the locations of anatomical and functional points.
Thank you Dr. Tamer!
