Clapping for the quads. In this video I'm going to be demonstrating how to perform cupping on the quads. First lubricate the quads with some quick f the Raj patricide and ringing news. Now depending on the size of your client's quads, the number of the cuts you use may vary. section for large cups along the quads as proximal as you can and within the client's comfort zone. Place the lower leg off the table and have the client extend their knee Now reposition the leg back onto the table, remove all four cups.
Take one cup, and starting at the top of the quads begin to glide across the muscle lateral to medial working across the vastus lateralis rectus femoris and then to the adductors and then glide back and forth, working your way down to the knee and then back up again. Then you're going to cup distal, the proximal, working up the quads. Make sure to lock your elbow into your side and then using the curve between the your thumb and index finger, live that cup up the quad. Gradually working lateral to the IT band and then medium Do this approximately 10 times or until you feel a softening of the clods. Check in with your client to get feedback on your work, as the IT band can always be a source of tenderness
