Description
This course will provide an introduction to a manual therapy approach that combines negative pressure technology using cups with principles of neuromuscular re-education to treat soft tissue dysfunction and improve faulty movement patterns. We will dive deep into the fascial system to discover the significant role it plays in soft tissue dysfunction resulting in pain, loss of motion, poor mechanics, and ultimately decreased function. We will have lab time for motion assessments as well as to practice applying cups and utilizing MFD techniques to treat common musculoskeletal dysfunctions.
Objectives

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Review the basic properties of skin/fascia and its contributions to both the musculoskeletal and neurological systems.
  • Review the ancient roots of "cupping".
  • Review the target for myofascial decompression therapy including trigger points, fascial line and postural syndromes.
  • Review precautions and contraindications of MFD.
  • Practice the application of myofascial decompression with negative pressure.
  • Clarify common musculoskeletal impairments with MFD including pre and post testing, trigger point assessment, functional activity, and sport specific/neuromuscular reeducation training.
