9/4/26 Essentials of Cupping

8CE
In this class we will cover everything you need to begin using cupping therapy safely in your practice, including treatment flow and body mechanics, as well as ideas for treating specific issues. We’ll practice using and applying cups across the whole body, giving you the confidence to add this into a full session to supplement your existing toolbox of work. This class will help you to confidently incorporate cupping therapy and give your clients the best care, with a focus on safety and good medical sanitation practices. I will provide all of the cups for the class, and have a variety of cups for you try out. This class will focus on the use of soft silicone and the hard plastic cups with a manual pump.

10/23 & 10/24 Medical Massage Essential: MVA Treatment Two day class

Spokane, WA Therapeutic Connections School of Massage
16CE
Being able to properly treat a motor vehicle accident injury is crucial for any medical massage therapist as it is so common. This is a special area of interest for me as I’ve been treating MVA injuries for my whole massage career, as my first job was in a medical massage clinic. This class is designed to enhance your treatment of someone who has been in an MVA and give you the confidence to help them recover. While a lot of the techniques will focus on the neck, most motor vehicle injuries involve areas across the whole body so we’ll also discuss full body implications and work on the shoulders, clavicle, diaphragm, obliques, iliopsoas, hips and lower leg. We will also cover the healing phases following an MVA, treatment arc and timelines, medical charting and billing, and the trauma caused by a car accident.
