February 18th

This advanced continuing education course is designed for licensed massage therapists looking to expand their skillset and incorporate alternative techniques into their practice. The focus of the class is Vacu-Cupping Therapy, an innovative and therapeutic modality that uses negative pressure to create a suction effect on the skin and underlying tissues. The course covers both the foundational theory and practical application of vacu-cupping, offering a comprehensive understanding of its benefits and techniques.
Participants will learn the history, science, and physiological mechanisms behind cupping therapy, including the benefits of improving circulation, reducing muscle tension, promoting lymphatic drainage, and facilitating the healing of soft tissue injuries. The course emphasizes the use of both stationary and dynamic cupping techniques, with detailed instruction on proper placement, suction strength, and timing to ensure safe and effective results.
In addition to theory, students will engage in hands-on practice, building proficiency in applying cupping to different areas of the body, such as the back, shoulders, neck, and legs. Emphasis will also be placed on understanding contraindications and ensuring the safety and comfort of clients.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the tools and knowledge to confidently integrate vacu-cupping into their massage therapy practice, enhancing treatment outcomes for clients with a wide range of muscular, circulatory, and lymphatic concerns. Continuing education credits will be awarded upon successful completion of the course.

EMA believes that the foundation of quality bodywork begins with the FUNDAMENTALS.... you got it... KNOWING YOUR ANATOMY! Like the back of your hand! That is why we have developed Syndaver education "The Human Body Rediscovered".
Cadaver Experience has been described by students as extremely eye opening. Seeing the body in a three dimensional sense allows them to have a much firmer understanding of muscles in relationship to surrounding structures such as the organs and the skeletal system they envelop. This approach to learning about the body is highly engaging for our students. They get to actually see the layers of muscles and the relationship of connective tissues layers within the body.
Working with the SYNdaver (simulation of living tissues) we can feel living tissue samples, as well as not be exposed to the harmful preservatives that you have with cadaver labs.
“I often like to say that being a Massage Therapist, or any type of manual or movement therapist / practitioner, and never having seen the inside of the human body is like being a car mechanic and never having opened up the hood!” – Dr. Joe Muscolino
