What is Medi-Cupping Therapy?

Medi-Cupping Therapy — often delivered as ACE MediCupping™ — is a modern, vacuum-assisted form of cupping that combines the therapeutic benefits of suction with intentional movement and massage-like techniques.

This method uses controlled suction to gently lift the soft tissues, helping to:

  • increase circulation

  • support lymphatic drainage

  • loosen adhesions and fascial restrictions

  • release chronic tension patterns

ACE MediCupping™ is different from traditional static cupping — it’s designed specifically for therapeutic bodywork and integrates seamlessly with massage and other manual therapies.

What Medi-Cupping Therapy Is Helpful For

Medico-Cupping can support a wide range of goals, including:

  • Muscle and joint pain relief

  • Improved circulation and hydration of tissues

  • Lymphatic drainage and reduction of congestion

  • Loosening of fascial adhesions and scar tissue

  • Enhanced recovery after activity or minor injuries

  • Support for circulation and tissue function

  • A gentle, mobilizing alternative to deep pressure work

People often find the treatment relaxing and energizing, with improved tissue ease and movement after a session.

What a Medi-Cupping Session Is Like

A Medi-Cupping session feels gentle but effective:

  • You remain fully clothed or lightly draped

  • Cups are applied with controlled suction

  • The therapist may move the cups slowly to “paint” the body or focus on specific areas

  • Pressure is adjusted to your comfort level

  • Many clients describe a warm, tingling, grounded sensation during and after treatment

This work is not forceful — it supports your body’s own mechanisms rather than pushing through pain.

How This Fits Into Our Whole-Body Approach

Medi-Cupping adds another dimension to our integrative approach. It works especially well with other hands-on therapies like:

  • Myofascial Release

  • Neuromuscular Therapy

  • Lymphatic Drainage

  • CranioSacral Therapy

By supporting circulation, fluid movement, and tissue mobility, Medi-Cupping helps the body transition into freer patterns of movement and regulation.

Is Medi-Cupping Right for You?

Medi-Cupping Therapy may be a great fit if you:

  • Have chronic tension that doesn’t respond to traditional massage

  • Want enhanced circulation and tissue hydration

  • Are interested in lymphatic support or detox-oriented work

  • Prefer a less intense alternative to deep pressure

  • Are working with old adhesions or scar-related stiffness

Your therapist will help you decide if Medi-Cupping is a good match based on your goals, comfort, and tissue response.
