Module Two:

IASTM Practitioner Certification

Have you been wondering how instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) techniques could be used in your practice?

You might’ve heard the term “IASTM” and associated it with rough techniques, overwhelming training or expensive tools – and in the past, that may have been true, but this IASTM Practitioner Certification session changes all that.

This session taught by Mike Stella, ATC, CES, PES, GT, FMT shows you how to use these powerful tools also assist in reducing adhesions and increase healing rates of targeted tissue by giving you a more pinpointed method of treatment.

You’ll walk step-by-step through:

How IASTM works with your client’s body and your rehab treatment plan

• Fundamental IASTM techniques and treatment strategies, including corrective exercises, different treatment strokes with IASTM tools and more
• Functional movement screening
• How to integrate manual therapy, kinesiology taping and movement into your treatment plans

Module Three:

Myofascial Cupping Practitioner Certification

This unique breakout session is unlike any other training in the rehab space!

Did you see Michael Phelps in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio? If so, you might have wondered what those circular bruises were. Yep, those marks were a result of cupping therapy, an ancient practice now used in rehab therapy around the world to improve circulation, stretch tight fascia for better mobility, increase lymph flow and oxygenate tissue and so much more.

But this technique is rarely taught – which is why this innovative session gives you a one-of-a-kind training, so you can use cupping in your treatments for pain, sprains, strains, swelling, tendinopathies and much more.

Powered by RockTape, this cupping certification shows you:

• How to apply cupping for best results
• Cupping applications for all parts of the body – upper, lower, core, trunk, hips, diaphragm, neck, lumbopelvic region and much more.
• Case studies and in-depth demonstrations of cupping, including safety precautions
• Skin/fascial screening techniques
• Pivotal principles of myofascial cupping, so you can feel confident your clients will get the best results without causing harm
