If you’ve been glued to your television screen watching the Olympics the way we are, you’ve seen the faint circular purple marks on the backs of some of the star athletes like Michael Phelps.
So what are these marks?
They are the marks of cupping, an ancient Eastern medicine practice designed to remove toxins from the body and increase blood flow to the area treated. Olympians in gymnastics, track and field and swimming and more love it because it enables them to recover faster and improves their muscle movement.
A licensed practitioner will gently move dry flat-sized circular glass cups with valves, placed upside down on your back, over your soft tissue, ridding it of any lesions. In this process, a vacuum is created which stimulates an infusion of fluid to the area treated, which is what causes the temporary discoloration of the skin.
But cupping isn’t just for Olympians. It’s for people from all walks of life! This technique has been in practice longer than western medicine and the “independent client providers” of DASHA® are more than happy to guide you through your first cupping session.
