Cupping
Olympics trivia: Who has 19 gold medals and a bunch of purple circles?
The answer is Michael Phelps with Chinese fire cupping physical therapy technique on his body. While it may look like Phelps and several other Olympians with those skin marks have been in a bar fight, the telltale dots are actually are signs of “cupping,” an ancient Chinese healing practice that is experiencing an Olympic moment. Practitioners of the healing technique place specialized cups on the skin. Then they use either heat or an air pump to create suction between the cup and the skin, pulling the skin slightly up and away from the underlying muscles. The suction typically lasts for only a few minutes, but it’s enough time to cause the capillaries just beneath the surface to rupture, creating the circular, eye-catching bruises that have been so visible on Phelps as well as members of the United States men’s gymnastics team.
