Cupping* Therapy and Pin & Stretch (combined)
There are many known benefits of cupping, by lifting tissue instead of pressing tissue. The lifting of tissue has a profound effect on the deeper structures.

This course will instruct by demonstration/practice with participants utilizing techniques: cupping on the neck, shoulders, arms, wrist, and hands, along with the abdomen, back, gluteals, legs, calves,and feet.
Pin and Stretch (P&S)
The technique is a movement-based muscle lengthening approach that is highly effective at assisting/treating issues with muscle, tendon, ligament, and fascia. Tissues that may appear abnormal with regard to texture, tightness, movement, and function are treated with stretching combined with sliding force, which is intended to increase the movement of the tissues by removing or breaking up adhesions. You may accomplish this by way of C-clamping or direct pressure applied tissue you wish to release. Pin and Stretch requires client participation for its overall effectiveness with regard to Targeted areas that are identified in muscles and tendons where overuse or dysfunction may have caused repetitive injury and the potential for scar tissue buildup. As a result, this may cause nerve irritation, shorten the potential length of muscles,and may produce tendons irritation. By this application of direct pressure, while the client performs specific motions to lengthen the tissue in the specific movements, the result is to ultimately release underlying tissues. This has the potential to increase blood flow, reduces nerve pain, improve range of motion, and increase strength.
