Personally, I would respond well to it, but feel crummy in the water for the next day or two afterward. On the flip side, some people feel great right after. So, it\u2019s important that you try it for yourself to see how your body responds. The most important thing to know is that cupping alone does not make a difference. The cause of the pain or muscle spasm must be addressed from a strength and mobility perspective as well. It is a great tool for you to use to work on some of the kinks to feel better temporarily and start to improve how you move in the water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest way cupping makes a difference is through our nervous systems. And here are the main mechanisms for how cupping works and what makes you feel better:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Watch video<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HKeZvTjFq84\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<h2><b>Pain Control<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if your shoulder is in pain, your shoulder sends signals to the brain and keeps feeding the cycle. By putting stimulus on there (cups) that signal can get flooded. With cupping, that becomes a pressure stimulus. Other ways we can flood that system would be with vibration or with a massage or light touch. Think of it as stubbing your chin on a coffee table. Typically, we end up rubbing that area to dilute the pain, or flood the pain and makes it feel better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Increased Parasympathetic Nervous System<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we train all the time, we get an elevation in sympathetic stimulus synonymous with the fight or flight response. This is where muscles get very tight. Similarly, dealing with an injury forces muscles to tighten up and guard the areas. The cupping mechanism helps to suppress the sympathetic drive and increase the parasympathetic drive to enter a more relaxed state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Vasodilation\/Local Inflammation\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the cupping techniques, it promotes blood vessels to dilate and also for local inflammation to occur to help bring all of the metabolites from working out day in and day out. This helps to flush the system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Authored by <\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em><strong>Dr. Nick Hadinger<\/strong><\/em> &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ptstreamline.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">www.ptstreamline.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video by <\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><em>Coach Deniz Hekmati<\/em><\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmerstrength.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">www.swimmerstrength.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Deniz Hekmati provides regular content on strength and conditioning as Swimming World\u2019s dryland contributor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>See more videos from Swimmer Strength Coach Deniz Hekmati:<\/h3>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-age-to-start-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Age to Start Dryland Training or Strength Training<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-when-to-add-weight-to-strength-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">When to Add Weight to Strength Training<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-mcgill-3-core-exercises\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">McGill 3 Core Exercises<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-shoulder-pain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shoulder Pain<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-yoga-and-swimming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yoga and Swimming<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-foam-rolling-for-swimmers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Foam Rolling for Swimmers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-self-myofascial-release\/\">Self-Myofascial Release<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Note: All swimming and dryland training and instruction should be performed under the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/category\/coaches-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">supervision of a qualified coach or instructor<\/a>, and in circumstances that ensure the safety of participants<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve never tried cupping before, it\u2019s important you try it out, either on the performance or recovery side of things.
