Not all cupping marks are the same-and each one tells a story about your body 💪

Cupping works by drawing stagnation to the surface, improving circulation, and allowing the body to release what it’s been holding onto.

Here’s what your marks may mean:
• Light Pink → Healthy circulation
• Light Red → Mild stagnation
• Red to Dark Pink → Moderate stagnation
• Deep Red / Purple → Deeper, more chronic tension
• Dark Purple / Black → Long-term stagnation + toxin buildup
• Fading / Yellow → Your body is healing and restoring

Using BlazePods for Parkinson’s rehab 🧠⚡️

We’re training more than just movement here, this is neuromuscular re-education in action. By combining color recognition, reaction time, and coordinated kicking, we’re challenging the brain and body to work together more efficiently.

For individuals with Parkinson’s disease, this type of training helps:
• Improve reaction speed
• Enhance coordination and motor planning
• Promote bigger, more intentional movements
• Stimulate cognitive processing alongside physical activity

Vestibular training with BlazePods 🔵

We used coordinated light drills to challenge reaction time and the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) — the system that helps your eyes stay focused while your head moves.

This type of training helps improve:
• Balance and stability
• Reaction time
• Eye–head coordination
• Tolerance to head movement (helpful for dizziness/vertigo)

By combining visual targets with head movement, we can train the brain and vestibular system to work together more efficiently.
