Online Fundamentals of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Cupping
Online Fundamentals of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Cupping is organized by HawkGrips®.
Description:
This 2-hour introductory course is designed to give an overview of the research and basis for cupping and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM). This is a home-study course and therefore does not teach clinicians how to perform cupping and IASTM techniques but instead reviews the relevant physiology and most current evidence on the theories behind these modalities as well as the key fundamentals. Clinicians should always perform treatments within their clinical scope. At the end of the course, participants will take a 15-question quiz to ensure comprehension and must pass with a score of 75% or higher.
Learning Objectives:
• Define the 4 main theories on how IASTM works and name at least 2 IASTM strokes
• Describe the 4 main types of cupping techniques
• List at least 4 indications of cupping therapy
• Identify at least 4 precautions and contraindications to cupping
• Identify at least 4 precautions and contraindications to IASTM
