Lhasa OMS invites you to their event

Introduction to Yin–Yang Cupping Featuring John Stan, DrTCM, Founder of Eastern Currents Ltd. and Brian Bowen, L.Ac., Founder of DAO, OUTCH Ointment, Integrative Health Inc. & Better Human Company

About this event

Cupping therapy has evolved dramatically—from traditional horns and bamboo cups to glass fire cups, plastic pump systems, and modern silicone designs. The newest advancement, square cups available in multiple sizes, offers practitioners unprecedented precision and versatility, expanding both assessment and treatment possibilities across a wide range of clinical presentations.

This focused one-hour webinar is designed specifically for practitioners seeking to refine their clinical outcomes. We introduce the concept of Yin–Yang cupping and the clinical use of firm- and soft-edge cups in a variety of strategies. These strategies when applied can effectively release channel pathways, reduce tissue congestion, disengage stubborn fascial adhesions, and remodel fascia to support structural balance and functional optimization.

Discover how modern Yin-Yang cupping is reshaping the landscape of myofascial therapy—and why it has quickly become one of the most sought-after tools for fascial remodeling and health enhancement.

Join the conversation and stay at the leading edge of therapeutic innovation.


What you will learn:

  • Understand the range of cupping devices currently available to clinicians with strengths and weaknesses of each material and shape.
  • Be introduced to and develop a cross-over language between traditional cupping and myofascial decompression techniques.
  • Be introduced to and develop a cross-over language between traditional TCM theory and the latest discoveries in Fascia research.
  • Learn how to combine the last two generations of cups (yin and yang) to maximize tissue decongestion and pain relief.
  • Learn a quick neck cupping protocol release that increases range of motion and reduces pain.


About our speakers:

John Stan graduated from the Canadian College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Victoria, BC in 1988 and earned his license as a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (DrTCM). While growing his private practice over the years, he has actively participated with professional acupuncture and TCM organizations which contributed to the recognition of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and acupuncture as a health profession within British Columbia in 1996.

In addition to his regulatory contributions, Dr. Stan has a patent on a dual tubed acupuncture needle delivery system now in use throughout the world. In 2019, he and his partner developed the world’s first eco-friendly acupuncture needle. Using repurposed materials, and reduced packaging strategies, they were able to reduce needle waste from 60 to 90% depending on the brand being compared. In addition they created industry first accessories to maintain a clean field around an open multi-needle package such that the needles remained aseptic for hours after opening.

He also invented the world’s first square cupping system that includes 5 differently sized square cups. By aligning the square cups edge-to-edge into arrays to create decompression zones targeting specific tissues and channels creates an entirely new set of exciting treatment protocols for practitioners.

In addition to his product development work, he is also the senior advisor in the quality control department for medical devices and herbal products at Eastern Currents Ltd in Canada.
