Once upon a time, in November 2003, I saw my very first client that wasn't at the spa I worked at for a hot second. She came in for relief from an old whiplash injury from a car accident. And over time, gradually, we got her to a point where she had forgotten that there even was a whiplash injury.

If you have whiplash or another neck injury, take a look at some treatment options that may be beneficial to you. https://www.spine-health.com/conditions/neck-pain/whiplash-treatments-and-recovery

We live in a ‘no pain, no gain’ society when it comes to taking care of ourselves sometimes and in the case of massage, people still think that it has to hurt in order to be effective. The same with cupping. People think that if they don’t have these wild, dark cupping marks all over it didn’t do anything. This isn't the case.

Spoiler alert: when Michael Phelps made headlines at the Olympics forever ago because of the weird, perfectly symmetrical circles all over his back and shoulders, everyone ran out to get cupping because they wanted the 'Michael Phelps'. You may not mark up like he did, because you're not an Olympic medalist swimmer that works out 27 hours a day and eats 9,000,000 calories.

Cupping can be done very lightly as a way to work with the lymphatic system, or it can be applied with more pressure to lift and separate the tissues to relieve pain, improve circulation and break up old, stuck adhesions in the tissues. Maybe it’s time to change our perspective and instead of beating our bodies up all of the time, consider giving it a gentle hug instead. More pain and pressure doesn’t always equate to better results. Sometimes less is more!

Recovering from surgery can feel like a lifetime, but there's light at the end of the tunnel and the more you follow your aftercare plan the sooner you can start to get back to normal.
