About the Course

In this webinar, we will explore the benefits of negative pressure cupping therapy for soft tissue remodeling. Cupping tools are an example of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization for massage and myofascial release that use negative pressure to mobilize tissue. Now you can reap the benefits of modern cupping therapy in your practice, to release scar tissue and fascial adhesions, manage trigger points, improve circulation, and relieve pain. Many clinical conditions may benefit from cupping as part of a plan of care to promote flexibility, comfort, relaxation, and functional outcomes. In this foundational and intensive course, discover the benefits of cupping with clinical tips on how to utilize specialized manual therapy tools to promote mobility, ease pain, and create raving fans of your clients.

This course is based on the recorded webinar, Cupping Therapy- Soft Tissue Mobilization for Rapid Results created by Theresa Schmidt in 2024.
