This Advanced course is for those who have already taken a Cupping course and would like to elevate their practice with Cupping with Movement!
Learn to provide quick and effective pain management resulting in enhanced mobility of your patients in this Advanced Cupping course! Cupping Therapy fits perfectly into wellness activities and this course will provide you with practical ways in which your patients can retain benefits between treatments. Your knowledge of exercise rehabilitation will enhance your absorption of the Advanced techniques taught in this course, which will increase the efficacy of movement exercises for your patients. We will explore remedial and rehabilitative exercises and movements and review self-care techniques for homecare programs.
Our Advanced course explores trigger point work, myofascial release, functional mobility, and movement exercises.
- Trigger point work, used before cupping, can allow you to release muscular tissue and thereby enhance the performance of stationary or dynamic cups.
- Myofascial release works slow and steady, applying a vacuum force on the tissue that is steady and reliable. It's effects on the tissue and neurological system will be explored.
- Functional movement of the body may be indicated in your cupping session, and we will demonstrate ways of increasing range of motion in your clients by testing for range of movement both before and after cupping is utilized.
You will be able to take the course from the comfort of your home or office, over the internet.
What you will need is
- a laptop with a camera or a computer with a webcam or a tripod for your phone/tablet and a bit of space to work in. The camera will pick up what you are doing, so a way of using it close to you and hands free will be very helpful.
- a good quality internet connection
- a headset or headphones with a mic (the ones that come with most phones will work well) This will stop feedback from happening when people have open microphones.
- a person to practice on – if you don't have one, no worries you can practice on yourself!
- massage table and linens, massage oil, and whatever makes you happy in your treatment room.
- You will need a set of cups. If you do not have cups check out our online sample pack.
- Hydrogen peroxide – if you are able to access it above 7.5% from a hydroponics store or a pool supply store. It is not mandatory for the course but required for disinfection once you begin working with clients again, so it is good to have on hand
- Yoga or workout attire for practical
