All Massage CE Directory customers receive a discount by entering the code MASSAGECE. This 2 hour course will introduce cupping as a modality to use in the treatment room to relieve of the symptoms of stress clients are complaining about. We will look at the common symptoms of stress and how some of them are within scope of practice and others are outside of it. Indications of cupping, and how these indications prove useful to us and our clients. For safety, we will look at the contraindications and safety precautions around cupping. We will go on to talk about and explain the basic techniques used in cupping, and then demonstrate how to do them. From there, we will talk about how to apply these techniques to the client in a cohesive treatment pattern, which we will demonstrate as attendees follow along.
