MediCupping™ Therapy Level 1  CAM Applications for VacuTherapies™ in Bodywork

VacuTherapies™ provide a wonderful bridge to the medical community, with special applications for pre- and post-surgery conditions, chiropractic and orthopedic work, conditions associated with Diabetes, Parkinson’s, Fibromylagia, and much more. Results are fast and comfortable for the client and practitioner, and noticeably impressive to medical professionals.

As an adjunct therapy for massage, physical therapy and chiropractic work, easy resolution of soft tissue issues enhances procedures and adjustments to accelerate client progress. Pre and post- surgical conditions such as scarring and restriction quickly respond to this gentle, yet effective, therapy. Athletic performance and injury recovery is also accelerated without discomfort.

This MediCupping™ certification workshop reviews the history of vacuum therapies, applications and contra-indications, and all of the foundation movements. Client intake, assessment and charting are addressed, and the practitioner comes to view the client through the cup, learning to discern information that the body reveals as it is being treated.  The second day focuses on athletic performance, pathologies and deep tissue issues, as well as the use of magnets to accelerate results. The third day is dedicated to the lymphatic system and “Solid Bloat”, including specialized work with obesity and client weight loss programs as well as diabetes and edema.

Students work with and become skilled at using the MC-600 MediCupping™ machine, and will experience intensive hands on exposure to the techniques that are presented.

MediCupping™ produces immediate effects on many conditions, resulting in client enthusiasm and commitment to treatment protocols.

This three-day workshop begins at 8:00 am and concludes 4:30 pm each day.  Please arrive 15 minutes prior to class each day.  Successful completion earns 22 NCBTMB CE credits. Graduates of this program become Certified ACE Massage Cupping™ or MediCupping™  Practitioners (CAMCPs) and are listed on the national website with contact information.  A wall certificate is issued upon completion of the workshop.

Please be prompt and dress comfortably.  We suggest bringing a sweater or light jacket for warmth and water for hydration.  Lunch will be determined each day by the presenter and will be one hour long.

What to Expect from Class

Expect the unexpected!  Each student responds to this modality based on their condition at the time.  There is a high level of hands-on work, much more ACE Massage Cupping™ or MediCupping™ bodywork than would normally be done for a client.  Keeping warm and adequate hydration assists any processes that may develop.  Participants who have not received regular bodywork may experience remarkable changes.  These experiences are necessary for the practitioner to fully understand the complex effects of this technique.

This three-day workshop will build on the foundation forged by the Level 1 workshops that we have been offering nationally since 2001. While Level 1 ACE Massage Cupping and MediCupping workshops focus on learning the techniques, movements, applications, and safety, Level 2 will take this knowledge and build upon it to truly position the practitioner “within the treatment cup” along with integrating a more intense scrutiny of hydration issues in the “body of water”.

ACE VacuTherapies Level 2 serves as a higher-level course for both ACE Massage Cupping and MediCupping.

The Level 2 workshop is a honing of assessment skills using specific evaluation criteria, along with ACE VacuTherapies techniques and concepts to create individual protocols for clients with acute and chronic conditions. Special attention is dedicated to the review of bio-magnetic theory and applications, along with a review of the lymphatic system to address the intensive tissue dredging that characterizes vacuum therapy.

Participants may choose to present a case synopsis or client study devoted to a particular health imbalance or condition.

Case Synopsis Suggestions:  

1. SOAP Notes
2. Treatment Diagrams
3. Client Comments and Testimonials
4. Photographic Documentation
5. Practitioner Observation
6. Client Feedback Notes

This workshop takes vacuum therapy to the next level and is fundamental for creating the “thinking therapist” that has the observational skills to effectively address almost any condition or application.

Easily help clients of all ages with the power of ACE VacuTherapies. Build your practice quickly with medical referrals based on dramatic results!
