Description

This is your gateway to mastering the art of myofascial cupping for clinical practice. Delve into the core principles of myofascial decompression with hours of hands-on labs:

Enhance Tissue Mobility: Gain profound insights into the world of myofascial sequencing and discover how it can transform tissue mobility and facilitate smoother movement patterns in your patients.

Neuroanatomy Unveiled: Explore the intricate neuroanatomy of the dermal and fascial subsystems to tailor your assessments and interventions to address the root causes of movement dysfunction.

Comprehensive Screening Process: Master a cutting-edge skin/fascial/movement screening process that forms the foundation of effective clinical evaluation to target the precise issues that hinder your patients’ functional abilities.

Evidence-Based Practice: Stay at the forefront of the field by dissecting and interpreting the latest research. Understand how connective tissue gliding, pain modulation, and movement therapies intersect to inform your clinical decisions.

Precise Cupping Techniques: Develop proficiency in myofascial cupping techniques tailored specifically for soft tissue pathologies. Implement these techniques to address your patients’ unique needs with precision and confidence.

Functional Integration: Harness the power of cupping to enhance functional outcomes. Discover how to leverage tension/decompression effects, directional cues, and graded pressure levels to optimize performance and rehabilitation.

Transform your clinical practice with expert-led myofascial cupping. Elevate skills, unleash potential, and make a lasting impact. Register now to join us for clinical excellence.


What to Bring: Yoga mat or massage table (if applicable)

Objectives

  1. Analyze the myofascial sequencing model to understand its role in movement function, and soft tissue health.
  2. Examine the neuroanatomy of the dermal and fascial subsystems.
  3. Identify functional issues with a comprehensive skin/fascial/movement screening process.
  4. Appraise relevant research findings related to connective tissue gliding, pain modulation, and the impact of movement therapies.
  5. Determine myofascial cupping techniques to address soft tissue pathologies and enhance functional outcomes.

Outline

Review framework of the Movement Pyramid

  • Understand neuroanatomy, skin and fascial systems and how they relate to the course
  • Review the current literature related to myofascial cupping techniques
  • Define Time Under Pressure (TUP) as it relates to decompression (curative vs. destructive dosages)
  • Review safety of applications
  • Cupping indications/contraindications

Introduce skin/fascial/movement screening process

  • Introduce and practice use of cupping as it relates to direction and pressure
  • Types of Treatments
  • Tissue decompression:
    • External Glide – multiple vectors
    • Internal Glide
    • Cupping plus functional movement
  • Treatment variables:
    • Body positions
    • Graded exposure techniques
    • Distraction methods

Introduce external cueing concept in respect the use of cupping for movement disorders (post stroke, different types of dystonias, parkinson’s, etc)

  • Introduce and practice use of cupping as it relates to movement dysfunction
  • Types of cueing: Visual & tactile

Learn, practice, and perform specific applications of cupping for nerve entrapments:

  • Upper extremity entrapments – median, radial, ulnar, others
  • Treatment considerations for neural entrapment cupping: external glide, internal glide, meaningful movement

Learn, practice, and perform specific applications of cupping with movement:

  • External cueing for movement dysfunction
  • Isolated movements – flexion, extension, rotation, Ab/adduction, deviation
  • Functional movements – sagittal, frontal, transverse plane patterns
  • Treatment considerations for cupping with movement, all movement is a screen/treatment opportunity, work and sport-related movement examples
