Fundamentals of Myofascial Decompression - SOD

Course overview

Fundamentals of Myofascial Decompression is different than all other manual techniques, with or without instruments. The negative pressure produced during myofascial decompression or cupping therapy offers a distraction to the tissues allowing for increased blood flow and lymph drainage, improved movement and overall tissue healing & recovery. This stands in contrast to the shearing that is present with muscle stretching and all other myofascial treatments. Despite its popularity, there has traditionally been a gap in the literature for the appropriate dosage, timing, and frequency for the proper application of cupping for musculoskeletal problems. During this course you will gain a fundamental understanding on how to increase or regress the intensity of cupping and therefore making it easier to program this treatment appropriately.
