This integrative course brings together cupping therapy, IASTM, kinesiology taping, and flossing into a comprehensive framework for advanced manual therapy practice. Co-taught by Paul Kohlmeier, Dr. Nikita Vizniak, and Brad Norris, the session emphasizes clinical reasoning, treatment sequencing, and tool integration. Participants will learn when and how to combine these modalities to maximize therapeutic outcomes for pain relief, mobility restoration, and functional improvement. The course will include small-group case studies, demonstrations of integrated treatment sessions, and supervised hands-on practice. Emphasis will be placed on safe application, adapting techniques to client tolerance, and sequencing interventions for optimal results. By the end of this course, students will be able to confidently integrate multiple advanced tools into cohesive treatment plans that are evidence-informed and clinically effective.
