Cupping Therapy Helps Athletes

Cupping therapy can help athletes heal from injuries or help athletes decrease recovery time after undergoing strenuous training. This is because cupping helps to stimulate the chemical breakdown of toxins that delay muscles and tissue from healing.

Cupping therapy also helps to alleviate inflammation. As the cup is applied, the suction it creates pulls the fascia and muscle beneath it away from deep tissues. This allows fresh blood and lymph fluids to circulate into the gap and flushes out the inflammation. As it increases circulation, cupping therapy also helps to boost the body’s entire immune system.

For athletes who suffer from plantar fasciitis, massage cupping therapy can help decrease pain and alleviate the tension in the tissue that connects an athlete’s heel to their toes.

Massage cupping therapy can also help increase an athlete’s flexibility and extension capabilities. This can help them to train harder for longer periods. If muscle spasms are a problem, massage cupping can also help alleviate them as well.
