Olympians use cupping during training and research supports its use.
Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps has attracted a great deal of attention for his use of cupping therapy. When asked about receiving cupping he noted, “I’ve done it before meets, pretty much every meet I go to. . . . I asked for a little cupping yesterday because I was sore. . . .” Other Olympians including Alex Naddour, Natalie Coughlin, and Pavel Sankovich published photos of their cupping marks on social media.
