WHY SOME OF THE OLYMPIC ATHLETES HAVE LARGE CIRCULAR BRUISES ON THEIR SKIN? Ever spotted those dark red circles on Olympic athletes’ backs? Yep, Michael Phelps was rocking those spots at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Stars such as Jennifer Aniston & Gwyneth Paltrow showed similar signs on their skin

The Treatment Known as CuppingThe treatment known as cupping is the cause of the peculiar round, dark red markings. The round marks left by this procedure can be mistaken for bruising. The method has been used for at least 2000 years to treat pain, respiratory problems, and muscle stiffness. Its origins are in ancient Chinese medicine. In order to provide suction in customized cups that are applied to the body, heat or air are used in this therapy. The skin and blood vessels are drawn toward the cup by the vacuum, which frequently leaves skin markings. It is thought that this procedure improves circulation, relaxes the muscles and joints, and draws blood to the area. Additionally, cupping may have anti-inflammatory properties. Cupping has anti-inflammatory properties because it improves targeted circulation, aids in the elimination of potentially inflammatory substances, and stimulates the flow of new blood. For roughly ten minutes, the cups can either stay in their original locations or, for the more daring, be moved around occasionally. They leave behind the characteristic welts after removal.

Pro athletes all over the world support cupping, citing it as the method that has improved their performance. It is occasionally used in conjunction with massage or acupuncture in the US. Although the cups are usually applied by a specialist, some athletes are doing it on their own. Phelps has inadvertently taken on the role as spokesperson for the procedure. Among its fans are members of the US women’s gymnastics team, which won gold. Furthermore, a large number of NBA players are either cautious newbies to cupping or ardent supporters of it. Cupping therapy is used by swimmers and gymnasts, who say it relieves discomfort in their strained bodies. Kyle Singler, a former basketball player, stated: “The bruises appear more severe than they actually are. However, there are a lot of benefits from it.”Singler states that the major purposes of cupping are maintenance and recuperation. It is an alternative form of treatment. It doesn’t work right away, but in the long run, it helps with healing and tissue elasticity. Earthenware, glass, or bamboo can be used to make cups for cupping therapy. The exact process by which cupping works is yet unknown. On the other hand, some researches suggest that applying the cups to particular acupoints on the skin results in hemostasis, or enhanced blood flow, which has a medicinal impact.
