Answer: Im a certified bodybuilding coach , plz consider this. Cupping Method is widely used in Athlete communities to help speed up recovery. This practice shot to fame after the cameras spoted Swimmer Micheal Phelps at the Olympics with Cup marks all over his body. 

 

Cupping is an ancient Chinese method of causing local congestion. A partial vacuum is created in cups placed on the skin either by means of heat or suction. This draws up the underlying tissues. When the cup is left in place on the skin for a few minutes, blood stasis is formed and localized healing takes place. 

 

Cupping therapy has been further developed as a means to open the 'Meridians' of the body. Meridians are the conduits in the body through which energy flows to every part of the body and through every organ and tissue. There are five meridians on the back that, when opened, allow invigorating energy to travel the whole length of the body. It has been found that cupping is probably the best way of opening those meridians. 

 

Cupping has also been found to affect the body up to four inches into the tissues, causing tissues to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, clear colon blockages, help activate and clear the veins, arteries and capillaries, activate the skin, clear stretch marks and improve varicose veins. Cupping is the best deep tissue massage available. Cupping, the technique, is very useful and very safe and can be easily learned and incorporated into your family health practices. 

 

SUCTION FROM CUPPING BREAKS THE CALLIPERS, Thats the reason why bruises left in the shape of the cups afterward.If you repeatedly injure the same area of skin over time . by placing the cups in exactly the same place over and over again, the skin there can actually go beyond repair sometime bruises, infections and burns. More studies needs to confirm its efficacy, as now there are no enough studies but theories confirm it works.
