MediCupping™ - How does it work?
What is it?
MediCupping is a system of vacuum therapies that have been used extensively to address a wide variety of concerns. The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles and fascial restrictions, encourage blood and lymph flow, and sedate the nervous system encouraging a deeply relaxed state.
Some of the physiological benefits of modern vacuum therapies include:
releasing deep muscular (soft tissue and organ) issues
releasing and softening scar tissue and adhesions
lifting and stretching, rather than compressing, soft tissue
opening chest and lungs (diaphragm release)
improving circulation and toning blood vessel walls
draining lymphatic fluid
sedating the nervous system
opening the energy flow of the body
decrease or relieve pain and inflammation
contouring the body and lifting the face encouraging production of collagen and elastin for better tone
How does Medicupping impact "solid bloat?"
Solid bloat is the layers of accumulation of stagnant lymph, blood, and debris. It is often caused by inflammation which leads to dehydration of the tissues and the inability of the lymphatic system to eliminate the debris. Stagnation may be found in muscles, skin layers, and connective tissue. Blood stagnation is often caused by micro-tears in compromised soft tissue, old injuries or surgeries, and even being sedentary or bedridden for an extended period of time due to illness. Cellulite is often stagnant lymph and debris that represents a lifetime accumulation of old medications, anesthesia, synthetic chemicals from our foods, smoke or other inhaled contaminants, and cellular wastes.
All of this stored material will aggravate the immune system and liver, leading to more inflammation, and the cycle continues. Vacuum dredging of the muscle tissues and organs allows for blood supply and nutrition to reach the cells, and old wastes to be purged.
Medicupping is a comfortable and effective way to remove debris from sites of strain, sprain, or other injury/surgery to facilitate full range of motion. It is a valuable tool to support detoxification protocols and is an incredibly successful way to assist those who are losing weight (including post-bariatric surgery), or releasing their dependence on alcohol and other substances.
