Your medical training must include hands on bodywork where you performed soft tissue manipulation, joint work and Kinesiology (LMP, PT, RN, OT, AT, LAc, etc).
This is a really important aspect of being prepared to do Suction Therapy. Having sufficient education and experience handling the body and understanding movement, gait, posture, contraindications of soft tissue manipulation and the dis-eases associated with and effecting the involved structures is required.
If you have not worked with the human body soft tissue and related joints using your hands, then you are not prepared to do safe, effective Cupping Therapy, and you will not be approved to attend.
