Professor is fantatic: you can see his enthusiasm in teaching this. The course itself is splendid and interesting. Professor makes sure you can learn and record in your mind the most important things you have to know repeating them during his videos, so there’s really no chance you wont learn anything from these lessons. Also his way of teaching keeps things clear and easy to understand.

Great course, well explained, and the diagrams and info in the included PDF are so helpful. I've already started implementing some of the techniques with my clients and love that I now have the knowledge to be more specifically helpful when cupping. Plus, this was my first trigger point class so I'm very excited to be able to help my clients more now I understand each muscle's referral patterns.

instructor is a little all over the place in his explanations. makes it harder to follow sometimes. but the info itself is great

I love learning on the go. Having ADHD there are times where I need to be doing more than one thing for my brain to soak in the information. So having it on my mobile and being able to listen and watch while, doing the dishes, for example helps me be a great learner.

Out of all the courses that I have done with Mark. The illustrations have been so much easier to follow. This is perfect for Trigger Point demonstration. Love the course. Ive even implemented these techniques on Clients and they love it... Thank you sooo much Mark

By Cynthia Johnson on 5/12/2024
Very knowledgeable & he made it fun. Seems like a really nice guy just from listening to him. Learned some new things & I’ve been a massage therapist for 18 years. We can always learn no matter how long we have been doing this full filling work. Thanks for the great class!
By Andrea Johnson on 3/30/2024
New information for me. I've experienced heard about but never experienced the fire cupping. I fully understand the hazard and ineffectiveness. Great information and like the presenter. The presenter made it easy and interesting! Great find for me!!
By Sydnie Powell on 1/10/2024
Lots of really good information in this course. I've done trigger point therapy before and I've done cupping therapy before, but it really made sense how it was put together in this course. Highly recommend.
By Aissata Diarra on 12/23/2023
Easy to watch online in your own comfort zone. I have learnt a lot about anatomy and trigger points. While I was watching the course i practiced loosened up some of my stiffness and it felt great . Thank you Mark
