Think you have nothing in common with the elite athletes competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics? Think again. Teton Therapy patients do.
Gold medalist Nicolò Martinenghi of Italy, seen sporting the telltale red circles of cupping while exiting the pool at the Men’s Swimming competition, is just one of many athletes who rely on this therapeutic practice. At Teton Therapy, our patients benefit from cupping too.
Cupping involves placing a hard plastic or glass cup on the body and using a cupping machine to break down adhesions, knots, and soft tissue restrictions in muscles. It’s a technique we use alongside hands-on therapy to help patients achieve optimal outcomes.
Whitney Fiscus, PTA at Teton Therapy’s Cheyenne clinic, explains, “Cupping increases blood flow and mobility. For example, with low back pain, cupping combined with exercises increases mobility and reduces pain and stiffness. Olympic swimmers and volleyball players often use it for their shoulders; it reduces pain and soreness.”
Cupping isn’t only for Olympians, but also Teton Therapy’s patients right here in Fremont County – providing them with great results! Fiscus adds, “Cupping has the same benefits for everyone, not just athletes. Whether you’re an elite performer or just tackling daily chores, cupping can offer relief from pain.”
