Description: Cupping and Gua Sha are ancient soft
tissue mobilization techniques which are expressed as
releasing the chi. There is an ancient Chinese proverb that
says, “chi is the commander of blood and blood is the
mother of chi.” This means if you free the chi in a
stagnant area, you will push the blood to that area
bringing oxygen and nutrients where by, creating a cycle
where more chi is created and bringing more blood.
Cupping and Gua Sha are the inspiration for modern-day
Graston therapy and instrument assisted soft tissue
mobilization techniques. Students will learn the traditional
techniques of Cupping and Gua Sha, how and where to
apply these adjunct modalities and dive into the
indications and contraindications. Students will also gain
an appreciation for how these wonderfully ancient
wisdoms can be integrated into a bodywork session to
make the treatment more effective.
