Medi-Cupping™ Therapy
Restore Movement. Reduce Pain. Support Your Body's Natural Healing.
At MassageNetics, Medi-Cupping™ is a gentle, therapeutic treatment that combines modern vacuum-assisted technology with specialized massage techniques to improve circulation, stimulate the lymphatic system, and restore healthy tissue mobility. Unlike traditional fire cupping, Medi-Cupping uses a controlled vacuum pump attached to specialized glass cups, allowing each treatment to be precisely adjusted for your comfort and therapeutic needs.
As the cups glide across the body, they gently lift and decompress the underlying tissues rather than compressing them. This unique lifting action helps release fascial restrictions, soften scar tissue, improve circulation, and encourage healthy lymphatic drainage. Many clients experience immediate improvements in mobility, reduced muscle tension, and a noticeable decrease in pain and swelling.
Conditions Medi-Cupping May Help Improve
Medi-Cupping is commonly used to support clients experiencing:
- Chronic muscle tension
- Neck and back pain
- Shoulder pain
- Sciatica
- Plantar fasciitis
- Fibromyalgia
- Scar tissue and adhesions
- Post-surgical fibrosis
- Swelling and edema
- Limited range of motion
- Sports injuries
- TMJ dysfunction
- Chronic inflammation
A Powerful Partner to Manual Lymphatic Drainage
One of the unique advantages of Medi-Cupping is its ability to complement Manual Lymphatic Drainage. By gently encouraging fluid movement while releasing restrictions within the fascia and connective tissues, these therapies work together to help reduce swelling, improve healing, and restore healthy tissue function.
For many post-surgical patients, Medi-Cupping can become an important part of the recovery process once healing has progressed enough for treatment to be appropriate.
What to Expect
Each Medi-Cupping session is customized to your individual needs. Treatments are generally comfortable, with suction levels adjusted specifically for your condition and comfort level. During the session, the cups may be stationary or gently moved across the tissues depending on your treatment goals.
Unlike traditional cupping, Medi-Cupping is designed to mobilize tissue through movement rather than leaving prolonged suction in one area. While temporary discoloration can occasionally occur, many clients experience little to no marking.

Why MassageNetics Uses the ACE Medi-Cupping™ System
Not all cupping therapy is the same.
At MassageNetics, we utilize the professional ACE Medi-Cupping™ System, an advanced vacuum-assisted therapy that provides a level of precision, comfort, and versatility that traditional cupping methods simply cannot match.
Unlike fire cupping or hand-pump cupping, the ACE system uses a computerized vacuum pump connected to specialized glass cups through flexible tubing. This allows the suction to be carefully adjusted throughout your treatment, providing a gentle, controlled experience tailored specifically to your needs.
The Benefits of the ACE Medi-Cupping™ System
Precise, Comfortable Treatment
The adjustable vacuum system allows suction to be customized for each area of the body and each individual client. Treatments are comfortable, effective, and appropriate for a wide range of therapeutic goals.
Dynamic Tissue Mobilization
Rather than leaving cups stationary, the cups can be gently glided across the skin to lift and decompress muscles, fascia, and connective tissues. This lifting action helps restore mobility while reducing restrictions and tension.
Supports Healthy Lymphatic Flow
The gentle vacuum action encourages the movement of lymphatic fluid, helping reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support the body's natural healing process. This makes Medi-Cupping an excellent complement to Manual Lymphatic Drainage.
Helps Release Scar Tissue and Fibrosis
Following surgery or injury, scar tissue and fibrosis can limit movement and contribute to discomfort. Medi-Cupping helps soften adhesions, improve tissue mobility, and encourage healthy remodeling of connective tissue.
Promotes Faster Recovery
Whether you're recovering from cosmetic surgery, orthopedic procedures, athletic injuries, or chronic muscle strain, Medi-Cupping may help reduce pain, improve flexibility, and support a more efficient recovery.
