    05/23/22 & 05/24/22 - Cromwell - Cupping Massage
    $35000

    Cupping MassageWorkshop Description: Cupping is a technique traditionally used in Eastern modalities (like acupuncture) to produce more effective circulation in areas of the body where there is pain and stiffness. The practitioner creates a vacuum in a cup and then places the cup on the skin of the client. The vacuum makes the cup stay in place on the skin and thereby improves local circulation. With new technology we as massage therapists have adapted this technique by using silicone cups and combining the suction with massage strokes. The end result is increased circulation, increased ROM and less pain. In short, an extra tool for the therapist, and relief for our clients. In this 2 day course we will learn how to use the cups in general, focus on some injuries, and do a facial cupping massage. Each participant will learn:Indications and contra-indicationsHow to use and clean the cupsFlash cupping, Moving cupping, and Stationary Cupping techniquesHow to work on chronic pain and injuriesFacial CuppingDates: Monday, May 23rd & Tuesday, May 24th, 2022 (Date Change)Time: 9:00 am to 5:00 pmLocation:Cortiva Institute - Cromwell campus 45 Shunpike Road, Suite 10Cromwell, Connecticut 06416Phone: 860-667-1886Cost:  $350  CE Credits: 14Instructor: Saskia CotéInstructor Bio: Saskia grew up in The Netherlands, and is a Licensed Massage Therapist and Teacher.
