Cupping therapy is an ancient therapeutic technique that involves placing cups on the skin to create a suction effect.
The intended benefits of cupping therapy include:
Increased Blood Circulation
Muscle Relaxation
Pain Relief
Massage cupping therapy can also help increase an athlete’s flexibility and extension capabilities. This can help them to train harder for longer periods.
N.B: Cupping therapy can cause temporary discoloration and marks on the skin, known as “cupping marks.” These marks are caused by suction and are not usually painful. They typically fade within a few days to a week.
