Cupping
You may have noticed on the backs of some professional athletes little purple and red circles and wonder about their origins. Well, it is from cupping.
It involves creating a vacuum under glass cups to lift the muscle and tissue, allowing blood flow to the area and aiding recovery and the healing process.
Its origin is in traditional Chinese medicine, and the technique has been adopted by other professionals.
