���� BeachLife.online Cupping: Not Just for Olympians by Daggi Ball While watching Michael Phelps during the Rio Olympics, many people have been wondering what the bright purple circles were on his back and why are they there? What It Is: Cupping is an Eastern medicine modality that uses cups to create suction over tight points to relieve pain. �������������������������������������������������������������� and muscles are drawn into the cup with a vacuum like effect �������������������������������������������������������������� and the cups are left there for several minutes. Depending on your comfort level, the cups may be moved around in a massaging motion calling “gliding/sliding cupping” or they may stay where they are. How Does It Feel: The initial sensation may feel like a slight pull or tug, but after a minute or so you begin to feel very relaxed and often sleepy. You may even feel the tight muscles beneath the cup start to jump as they release tension. If it feels at all painful, inform your practitioner and they can make proper adjustments. What It Does: Think of Cupping as an inverse process to Deep Tissue massage; instead of the muscles being pushed down to release tension they are being pulled up to create space for ���������������������������������������������������������������������� blood to be removed and fresh red blood cells to be regenerated. Tight muscles will relax, and toxins will be removed and pulled up to the surface to be cleansed out by the body’s lymphatic system. ���������������� There are numerous reasons to get Cupping regularly including releasing chronically tight muscles, reducing pain, detoxing and boosting the immune system. By keeping the ������������������������������������������������������������������������ can keep your body in top shape and help prevent sickness.
