MediCupping™ - What should I expect?
MediCupping is a system of vacuum therapies that have been used extensively to address a wide variety of concerns. It includes manual massage cupping, vacuum machine facilitated cupping, and magnetic micro-cupping.
How should I prepare for my MediCupping Treatment?
Arrive well hydrated. Because of the profound effect these therapies have on lymphatic drainage, we highly encourage abstaining from alcohol/drugs and eating high quality clean whole foods for at least 24 hours before a session.
Please do not smoke within 2 hours of your session.
If you would like cupping for face lifting and drainage, please remove all makeup and contacts.
You may schedule a sauna before your session and use the warming infrared amethyst BioMat during your treatment.
Two Ways to Schedule Your Experience
After your MediCupping Treatment
Avoid chilling and drafts as well as sauna, steam room, exercise that generates heat, and showers/baths for 4-6 hours after a cupping session.
Post-treatment tenderness may occur --usually less intense than from deep tissue work.
Redness and/or itching may occur from increased vasodilation and/or inflammation brought to the surface to be released.
Decreased blood pressure due to vasodilation and/or nervous system sedation (please let your practitioner know before your session if you tend towards low blood pressure normally.)
Emotional release during or following a session as old cellular/tissue traumas release (more prevalent with, but not limited to, scar tissue release work.)
