Flossing & Cupping course

The Flossing & Cupping course aims to demonstrate safe and effective use of silicone cupping sets and floss bands, relevant to treating the fascia. Cupping is a treatment using silicone cups to suction and lift the skin and fascial layers. Flossing is a treatment of the joints and surrounding tissues using elasticated floss bands to compress the tissues.

What will you learn during the Flossing & Cupping course?

On the course you will be provided with a course manual to compliment your learning. This manual will cover the theory and research behind each modality as well as up-to-date research on the fascial system itself. You will also learn a range of treatment applications for each modality, as well as get plenty of time to practice and ask questions. The full breakdown of the course can be seen overleaf.

Next to the Flossing & Cupping course, THYSOL USA also offers an IASTM course (TBA – Early, 2020).
