About this training
What to expect
This training is for therapists who don't want to work harder, but want to understand deeper.
Do you also experience that some clients find it difficult to allow touch? That the body continues to protect itself, tension persists or that you have difficulty accessing the deeper layers in the system, despite your techniques?
In this 2-day training, you will learn how to gently create openings in the body and help the nervous system relax through manual techniques, the vagus nerve and the iliopsoas muscle.
This creates more safety, more relaxation and more access to profound recovery, allowing you to work deeper and more efficiently afterwards with Transformational Cupping®, fire cupping or other profound techniques.
We combine scientific insights with practical applications within The Cupping Institute® and Transformational Cupping®, so that your treatments not only work deeper, but also deliver more sustainable results.
Program
Core of the program
You learn to work from a safe and well-thought-out structure: regulation and preparation, deepening, integration, and completion.
- A deepening treatment method with a safe structure
- Theoretical insight into the vagus nerve and the psoas
- The role of both in stress, safety, pain, and recovery
- Breathing and diaphragm work
- Gentle manual techniques and fascial work
- Transformational Cupping® for regulation
- Recognizing signals from the nervous system
- Knowing when to deepen and when to slow down
Daily schedule and structure
Day 1: Vagus nerve
You will learn how to support and calm the vagus nerve through breathing, diaphragm work, and (Transformational) cupping, always adapted to what the nervous system allows. 10:00 – 16:00/16:30.
Day 2: Psoas
You will learn to understand the psoas as a survival and protection muscle and how to approach it safely and respectfully, without forcing. 10:00 – 15:30.
Various techniques for regulation
Breathing, tempo, gentle manual techniques, fascial work and Transformational Cupping® are used when and how the body allows it.
Observe and attune
You will learn to recognize signals from the nervous system: protection, overwhelm, relaxation, and integration.
