Cupping and sideline position. In this video I'm going to be demonstrating how to do cupping in the sideline position. Position your client in the sideline position with a pillow supporting their neck and shoulders and another pillow between the knees. Make sure your clients back is well lubricated. Have the client touch their head and curl the back just a little. Start with a pair of spinal glide up and down their back followed by the lifting, twisting Then reverse cross fiber friction and popping techniques
