Sports cupping

Sports cupping is a therapy that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction, which can help increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing. The cups may be left in place for a few minutes or moved repeatedly over the skin. Athletes often use this technique to enhance performance, alleviate pain, and recover after intense activity. While some individuals experience temporary skin marks or redness, cupping is generally safe when performed properly. It is considered a complementary therapy that supports physical recovery and muscle function.
