What is Cupping?

What are the circular marks on Olympians backs that everyone is talking about?

Cupping is one of the oldest methods of traditional Chinese medicine. Cupping is a therapy that is especially useful in the treatment of problems that Chinese Medicine practitioners call of local qi, or blood stagnation in the meridians and channels, and is usually performed as an alternative to acupuncture.

Below is a link to a description of cupping from The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM®).  NCCAOM is the only national organization that validates entry-level competency in the practice of acupuncture and Oriental medicine (AOM) through professional certification. NCCAOM certification or a passing score on the NCCAOM certification examinations are documentation of competency for licensure as an acupuncturist by 44 states plus the District of Columbia which represents 98% of the states that regulate acupuncture.

Cupping is part of an Acupuncturist's scope of practice it is important to find a practitioner who is both educated in Chinese Medicine and has passed thorough examinations on each modality in which they perform.
