Several smoothed surface plastic cups are placed on the Back, Hamstrings, Quads (no inner thigh), Forearms, Biceps, Triceps, Pecs, Hands, and Feet with a hand pump. When placing the cups you and the therapist will decide the best route to take to help the client with the tightness, pain and stagnation during the session. The placement time will be between 30 sec to 15 mins, depending on the session. During the placement time of the cups, the therapist will do massage therapy on the arms or legs or even the back. Once the time is completed for the placement cups and they are removed, a medical grade silicone soft cup will be run over the area that was cupped and even the areas in between the placed cups to help the lymphatic system move the stagnation out of the body even faster. This cup is squeezed and applied to the skin and then moved over the skin by the therapist.

You can even have your Face cupped. Most of us don’t think about having toxins in the facial muscles. This is my favorite area to have cupped. It makes my face feel so good. Helps to remove stagnation and helps bring healthy blood to the surface. This cupping is done by continually running the cup over the face in a specific way to where it benefits the face and neck without stressing the delicate facial skin.

**Always remember to consult with your Physician before trying any new therapies.

The Medi-Cups are used to release toxins, adhesions, scars and knotting that cause restrictions in the body which in turn causes pain. This incredibly effective technique increases blood flow which in turn relieves pain by clearing debris, opening drainage, and easing limited movement which enables the body to promote healthier tissue. The Medi- cups are moved over the skin by using gliding, shaking, popping and rotating techniques while gently pulling up on the cup. Some are parked for a short time to facilitate joint mobilization or soft tissue release. Range of motion (ROM) will also be performed with some joints to allow for even more movement and less pain. This suction can reach deep into the soft tissue or can work superficially to pull inflammation and toxins toward the surface so that the skin and lymphatic system can readily eliminate them. T*his therapy is extremely helpful with chronic pain sufferers. * Scar tissues are often released quickly, despite the age of the injury or keloid tendencies.
