In this two day course, students will learn the basics of cupping therapy; the anatomy and physiology behind it; practical applications on using both plastic and silicone cups in both stagnant and sliding methods – either solo or several at once. Focusing more on a mechanical/fascial approach to cupping, students will receive a detailed breakdown of different cupping techniques, and what outcomes are achieved with each - enhancing critical thinking on treatment applications.
As we briefly review common pathologies regarding mechanical pain, we will thoroughly investigate present restrictions and use a standard protocol for each condition that therapists may use to reference in their own practice. Therapists will be able to confidently assess the body in its entirety in order to identify myofascial restrictions while using Cups as a tool for tracing the pathway of restriction, ultimately allowing the Therapist to determine the primary area of restriction, rather than following the symptomology currently present.
