Susan Speaks About the Cupping Class
This one-day course will explore clinical applications of cupping and the differentiation of cupping styles and suction techniques. Cupping can yield immediate results and Susan emphasizes the patterns she uses for various diagnosis due to their clinical usefulness through lecture, diagrams, and videos.
The ancient art of cupping is an extraordinary tool used by healers and lay people in many cultures. Cupping draws toxin buildup or muscle spasm out of the deeper tissues of the body, while simultaneously pulling in freshly oxygenated blood. In cases of blockage or stagnation, the proper use of cupping can reduce a patient’s healing time by weeks and even months.
In this course, Susan provides very detailed instruction in the many uses of cupping techniques, including when, where, how and why we use cupping, as well as printable versions of ten different cupping patterns and a color brochure for patients. View close-up digital video cupping demonstrations of many of the major joints with Susan’s live commentary, and learn how to radically transform your practice.
