For this class we will do a deep dive into the shoulder complex anatomy and structure, as well as how it relates and is affected by the whole body. The techniques I’ve chosen for this class are a mixture of bread and butter moves and advanced techniques. They will address specific muscles and soft tissues that are often overlooked when treating the shoulder. We will also discuss treatment philosophies on various common injuries and conditions of the shoulder. I break the shoulder complex up into working zones, to both simplify and provide flow to your treatments. We will go over techniques to cover 360 degrees around the glenohumeral joint as well as the scapula, clavicle, and ribs. Overall, my goal for this class is to provide you with a holistic and integrated approach to treating the shoulder, as well as valuable and effective techniques that you can add to your everyday tool kit.

In this class we will cover everything you need to begin using cupping therapy safely in your practice, including treatment flow and body mechanics, as well as ideas for treating specific issues. We’ll practice using and applying cups across the whole body, giving you the confidence to add this into a full session to supplement your existing toolbox of work. This class will help you to confidently incorporate cupping therapy and give your clients the best care, with a focus on safety and good medical sanitation practices. I will provide all of the cups for the class, and have a variety of cups for you try out. This class will focus on the use of soft silicone and the hard plastic cups with a manual pump.
