What is MediCupping™ and how is it beneficial?

MediCupping™ is an ancient Chinese tool that has proven very beneficial in modern healing. Cupping creates a suction that is used to release tight muscles, loosen adhesions, bring hydration and blood flow to the tissues, and drain excess fluids and toxins by opening lymphatic pathways.

MediCupping™ is three to five times more effective than traditional Deep Tissue massage.

Glass and/or plastic cups are attached to a MediCupping™ machine to create a vaccum type suction

I use the MD600 MediCupping™ machine, manual cups, and acupressure magnets to relieve pain and dysfunction, assisting your body back to a healthy natural state with proper Lymphatic drainage, deep tissue, and fascial release.

Pain is NOT necessary for MediCupping™ to be effective. The sensation is truly indescribable, often experienced as deep warmth and a tingling sensation lasting long after the treatment has ended. The nervous system is sedated, and people will often descend into a profound state of relaxation. 

ACE Massage Cupping therapy very rarely produces this discoloration, called a “cup kiss” or “doo-hickey.” If this appears during the treatment, it’s just an added bonus indicating the release of intense stagnation (body fluids and toxins) in the area. This is not a bruise and will dissipate anywhere between a few hours and a few days. It is also unlikely that it will re-occur in the same area.

This technique is used safely on children, adults and elderly persons. This is an intense therapy, and its impact on the body’s systems is significant.

After any ACE Massage Cupping treatment, it is important to avoid exposure to excessive heat or cold, and sufficient hydration is required to facilitate elimination.

• Hydration is KEY!!! The lymphatic system drains through our urinary system, therefore we must drink plenty of water to flush out any toxins.
• Avoid massage to area cupped for 6-8 hours, to avoid slowing down the lymphatic process. 
• Please eat something light and hydrate before your appointment to avoid nausea during or after your treatment. 
• It is common to experience dizziness or lightheadedness upon standing after your treatment. Your massage therapist will inform you to take your time getting up from the table as well as provided you with water.
