Course Overview

This course provides an evidence-based approach, combining IASTM, Cupping and Kinesiology Taping by focusing on how we can stimulate the Central Nervous System (CNS) to reduce pain and enhance mobility. This comprehensive treatment philosophy is movement-focused instead of treating the individual muscle, or the fascia, or the joints. The goal is to make overall movement of the affected body part more efficient to allow the body to heal and to become more resilient: “Move Better, Feel Better” 

Clinicians will be able to take their Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) -techniques to the next level by incorporating movement. Additionally, learners can understand how Cupping Therapy (CT) is different than all other manual techniques, and how it supports healing, and recovery. Clinicians will learn how Kinesiology Taping (KT) is used to influence the fascia and underlying neural tissues to cause functional changes in both the local tissue as well as the Central Nervous System (CNS). KT is the ideal complement to soft tissue treatments like IASTM and Cupping.

Understanding how pain works and being able to educate your clients on how to manage their pain is critical to patient outcomes. This course uses principles of the BPS model and Pain Scienced Education as a roadmap to make your treatments even more effective. This treatment approach does not just look at the area of pain, but considers the entire person, and treats the entire dynamic chain that is affected.

Learning Outcomes

  • Review the evidence that supports the use of IASTM, Cupping Therapy, and Kinesiology Taping. 
  • Differentiate indications, and contra-indications for IASTM, Cupping Therapy, and Kinesiology Taping.
  • Categorize different techniques available for Cupping and IASTM.
  • Predict how to effectively utilize IASTM, Cupping Therapy, and Kinesiology Taping for the upper body.
  • Relate how Pain Science Education and the BPS model can be used to help your patients with their pain and improve occupational performance.
