Sports Cupping Therapy

Sports Cupping is the use of traditional Chinese cupping in sports. It combines the knowledge of physical therapy with the Traditional Chinese Medicine to help athletes recover faster from training as well as improve overall performance. The continued use of this therapy by top athletes such as Michael Phelps, attest to its effectiveness.

How does sports cupping help? It helps by increasing the blood flow in specific areas which assist in muscle recovery. It also loosens the fascia, which allows the muscle to move more smoothly and reduces stiffness. Even with just those two rationales for its use, it is apparent that it does have some very important role when it comes to increasing performance.
