This course was a little confusing, and sort of has me wondering if this alone is enough information to take with me into my work, as it kept making statements like "make sure you learn the proper procedures before using this on clients" which I kind of thought this was going to do. I also feel that it could have done a better job explaining which techniques (stationary or running) work better for which ailments. I feel like I still need more information and instruction before I can apply this to clients.

Cupping is a large subject to cover, but this class still chose its focus on important and valuable tools to further both my knowledge and skill. I enjoy the option of shorter classes that this site provides. Thank You!
