Doctor Questions Cupping

Can cupping help me with my sports?

Remember when Michael Phelps did cupping treatments before the Olympics? I want to start doing the same thing. I'm in a swimming team, and constantly training. I'm pretty good, too, and I want to make a career out of it. Do you think cupping would also help me as I continue to train?

Cupping is becoming more and more prevalent. Outside professionals and Olympic athletes, cupping is often reserved for the injured. However, massage therapists can also perform this to increase blood flow and increase range of motion of the joints.
