Course Description
Welcome to the Stretching with Cupping course, designed to elevate your practice and enhance client outcomes by integrating cupping therapy with various stretching modalities. Stretching with Cupping builds upon the foundation laid in our Intro or Level 1 ACE Massage Cupping and MediCupping courses. By combining cupping with isometric, isotonic, active, passive, dynamic, and pin-hold stretch techniques, you’ll unlock the potential for more effective therapeutic sessions with reduced physical stress. Throughout the course, you’ll have the opportunity to utilize cupping therapy techniques learned previously while exploring new methods to tailor treatments to individual client needs. Through a video series featuring a blend of detailed demonstrations, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of each technique, empowering you to seamlessly integrate Stretching with Cupping into your practice and educate your clients for optimal results.
