Has anyone tried cupping therapy after swimming to relax their muscles? If so, what are your experiences? As you can see on Michael Phelps Instagram he uses it, so it must be good.

  • While there is anecdotal evidence of some benefit, there's no hard science supporting it. Some suspect it might be more of a placebo effect than anything else. My doctor warned me not to try it because I'm on Coumadin and it might cause some sub-dermal bruising/bleeding problems. Mark
