Cupping Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis

Cupping Therapy Question and Answer Series

Intro

Thank you for joining us for another installment of our Cupping Therapy Q&A Series. Here, we feature clinical questions submitted to us by ACE Massage Cupping Therapy practitioners. Our educators offer some brief insight on the topic so that you can expand your working knowledge on this revolutionary bodywork therapy and its benefits.

Question

I am interested in the cupping techniques mentioned in your blog about treating Plantar Fasciitis. The practitioner that answered a previous question in the Q&A series is in Arizona that offers workshops. Do you have any information on the technique online or on DVD.

Answer

Our ACE Massage Cupping Online Course does briefly explore the use of vacuum techniques for plantar fasciitis, and we are currently filming advanced online courses that will be available to certified practitioners. One of them will focus specifically on that condition, along with other issues with the hands and feet.

All of us ACE educators love to teach “foot work”, so you could choose a workshop closer to home.
