What forms do you need to offer cupping therapy?

A cupping practice needs five client-facing documents and three practitioner documents. The client-facing set is a health intake, an informed consent, a session note, an aftercare sheet, and a clinical alert summary for the front of the file. The practitioner set is a contraindications reference, a sanitation protocol, and an incident report. Two more — a medical clearance request and a scope-and-insurance checklist — are used occasionally and are the ones most practices are missing entirely.

All ten are in this kit, plus the business material that comes after.

Why this isn't a generic massage intake

Most cupping practitioners are working from a massage intake that never mentions suction. This one screens for what actually changes when you apply negative pressure:

• Blood thinners, daily aspirin, corticosteroids and isotretinoin
• Blood clot risk — recent surgery, immobilization, long travel, unilateral calf pain
• Surgical sites, with a clear six-week rule and a surgeon clearance requirement
• Nut and seed oil allergies, because most massage oils are almond or coconut based
• Lymph node removal, fragile skin, keloid tendency, fresh tattoos

What should you tell a client about cupping marks?

Explain the mechanism before the session, not after. A bruise from a knock is compression — force travels inward and tissue is pressed against what lies beneath it. A cupping mark is the opposite: suction draws the skin and the tissue just under it upward, and small surface vessels release a little blood into that space. Nothing is compressed.

That is why cupping marks are round, evenly spread, and usually painless rather than tender.

And on colour — it reflects how much suction was used, how long the cups stayed on, placement, skin, and medication. Not toxins. Not circulation. Darker is not worse. The consent form, aftercare sheet, consultation script and social playbook all say this consistently, which protects you from a claim you cannot defend.

How much should you charge for cupping?

Start from what it costs you to deliver, not from what the practice down the road charges. The line most therapists forget is their time outside the room — intake review, notes, cleaning cups through a full disinfectant contact time, and turning the room can easily add twenty-five minutes to a sixty-minute session.

The Pricing & Service Menu Builder walks you through a cost worksheet, three service structures, package traps, and a script for raising your prices without over-explaining.

Why do cupping clients not come back?

Usually because the marks frightened them and nobody prepared them. Six reasons are covered in the Retention Kit, and five of them are fixed by things you say rather than anything you do with a cup — setting the mark expectation before the session, booking the next visit before they leave the room, and sending one message two days later.

Formats

Every document comes twice:

• Editable — opens free in Google Docs, and in Microsoft Word, Apple Pages or LibreOffice
• Print-ready PDF — use as-is once you have reviewed it

Files are organized into folders by how often you print them, so per-client forms sit separately from reference material. US Letter, printed at 100% rather than "fit to page."

Instant download

Available immediately after purchase. Nothing is shipped. Your download link does not expire.

Who made this

Cupping Warehouse supplies silicone and polycarbonate cupping sets to clinics, spas, schools, sports teams and home users. This kit was created by our publishing department and founder, who spent 27 combined years in nursing and massage therapy before building the company, and who trained in cupping with instructors based in the United States, based in Australia and based in the United Kingdom.

It exists because the material available to cupping practitioners was either a generic massage form that never mentions suction — or nothing at all.

Important — please read

These are reference templates and educational material, not finished legal documents. They are not legal, medical, financial or tax advice, they are not complete or all-inclusive, and they have not been reviewed for your state, your license, your scope of practice, or your insurance policy.

You are responsible for reading them in full, adapting them to your practice, and having your customized versions reviewed by your own attorney and liability insurer before clinical use. Requirements vary significantly by jurisdiction and license type. No income, revenue or business result is promised or implied.

Licensed to one practitioner. Multi-seat licenses for clinics and schools are available — contact us.
