Segment Three:?Scott Kaylor from ATI Physical Therapy discusses cupping therapy and why its been so popular with Olympic athletes; potential benefits and ?patient expectations.?If you?watched?the Olympic games, you may have spotted the spots: large, red and purple circles on the backs, shoulders, chests, arms and legs of swimmer Michael Phelps, gymnast Alex Naddour, and other top athletes.?So what?s the deal?
Those circles are the marks left behind by cupping, an ancient Chinese healing practice
that involves placing special cups on the skin and using heat to create suction and promote blood flow.
The red marks are due to stagnant blood and fluid that may have been stuck for a long time being brought up by the suction from deep inside the tissue so the body can flush it out. See related article.
