Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever hurt yourself while working out? Are you looking for a simple, inexpensive treatment method? Cupping could be the answer! For thousands of years, cupping has been practiced in countries like China, Egypt, and Greece. By heating a glass cup and pressing it against pressure points on the body, therapists can encourage healing and promote good health. If you're cupping at home, you will use the vacuum-cupping method, which replaces glass cups with plastic, rubber, or silicone, so you don't need to involve fire. This therapy has become increasingly popular among athletes who frequently deal with sore muscles, stretched ligaments, and other health problems. In Sports Cupping - A Beginner's Guide to Cupping Therapy for Athletes at Any Level, you'll learn about the history of cupping and all its benefits. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, all of life is sustained by energy known as "qi," and the human body is no exception. Unfortunately, the flow of qi can stagnate because of injuries and cause symptoms like pain, dizziness, and decreased athletic performance. By applying cupping, you can activate healthy qi flow again, strengthen your immune system, and prevent diseases. In this book, you'll learn how to treat injuries like: Hamstring strains Groin pulls Shin splints Lower back pain Knee injuries Tennis elbow Neck pain We'll also cover health conditions that can affect an athlete's performance, like anxiety, depression, nausea, and insomnia. If you're an active person or a professional athlete, you are at risk for injuries. This book provides you with detailed guides on where to cup and other treatment options like changes in your diet and herbal medicine. You'll also learn about specific essential oils and herbs that can enhance your cupping experience, and complementary treatments that therapists often offer. An injury shouldn't stop you from achieving your athletic goals. Educate yourself on an ancient and effective treatment method, and become stronger than ever!

In recent years countless high profile athletes and celebrities have been sporting distinctive circular "cupping" welts on their bodies -- the back and shoulder area being most common. Dating back thousands of years, cupping is a form of alternative medicine. The cups create suction and help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, deep relaxation and can even provide relief for sciatica and sinus congestion. Massage Cupping body therapy is a modern and modified version of cupping therapy that creates suction and negative pressure through the use of both stationary and moving cups. These cups are available at pharmacies and do not use heat like old-fashioned glass cupping -- making them entirely safe and easy for home use. Shannon Gilmartin is a licensed and nationally certified massage therapist and certified vacutherapies educator who teaches this wonderfully diverse therapy and has witnessed the positive outcomes for patients. This book shares all her extraordinary professional and hands-on experience, so that everyone can experience the positive benefits of cupping. Nearly 200 step-by-step photos and full color pages make it easy to follow this expert instruction. The book includes: The history of cupping, the types of cups and the many therapeutic benefits of cupping from skeletal and muscular to the digestive and nervous systems What to expect after a cupping session including comprehensive safety and techniques information Applications for common conditions that range from stress and back tension to frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome, TMJD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) and even acid reflux A section for speciality applications like athletic performance, prenatal therapy and working with inflammation (acute vs. chronic). A comprehensive and easy-to-read cupping therapy book, with plenty of practical suggestions. This must be one of the best cupping therapy books I have seen recently published. -- Ilkay Zihni Chirali, Author of Traditional Chinese Medicine Cupping Therapy

You will effectively be "handheld" safely through the practice, and find great tips and techniques that allow you to potentially soothe various issues. Here's just a little of what you will discover inside... How cupping has been used for centuries, and how the practice evolved. The benefits of cupping and how it can help treat many of the ailments you may be facing. The science behind how the therapy heals, treats, and relaxes... Are you better off visiting a clinic or using an at-home kit? (This will surprise you) What all to consider before getting started with cupping. Animal horns as cups? Not anymore, but learn about all the different cups and tools used today. Weak flash cupping, or medium moving cupping? Understand all the techniques practitioners use, and how you can as well. Diagrams of over 40 different effective placements on the body to help treat everything from shoulder pain and feet issues to a variety of beauty treatments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dry cupping has been used for millennia to treat every kind of health problem. Is it right for you? Practiced in ancient China, the Middle East, and Greece, dry cupping is when a glass cup is heated with flame and then placed against the skin, creating a powerful suction that draws healthy blood to the surface. That and other types of cupping will be explored in this comprehensive book. You'll also learn about complementary treatments therapists often use, such as acupuncture, herbs, and aromatherapy. Is dry cupping supported by science? There's limited research, so many doctors are skeptical, but therapists and patients report many benefits from the treatment. This seemingly-simple technique can help treat a wide variety of conditions, including: Migraine headaches Muscle soreness Diabetes Period cramps Colds and congestion Cellulite What do you need for dry cupping? The traditional glass cup-and-fire method is often replaced with rubber, plastic, or silicone cupping, which does not require fire. These cups are much more flexible and safer. Cupping sets are available from a variety of outlets, even Amazon. You'll also need massage oil, clean towels, and the proper cleaning products to sanitize cups after use. Maintaining good hygiene is essential for cupping. The bulk of this book is devoted to step-by-step guides on dry cupping for a variety of health problems. You'll learn about the different cupping strengths, pressure points, and how cupping draws out toxins and restores the body's qi, or its life force. Charts of the different points make it easy to identify what points to target. Have you suffered with pain, nosebleeds, skin issues, or another condition for a long time? Have traditional Western treatments like medications done little to help? An alternative treatment like dry cupping may be the answer you've been looking for!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global health and fitness industry is worth an estimated $4 trillion. We spend $90 billion each year on health club memberships and $100 billion each year on dietary supplements. In such an industrial climate, lax regulations on the products we are sold (supplements, fad-diets, training programs, gadgets, and garments) result in marketing campaigns underpinned by strong claims and weak evidence. Moreover, our critical faculties are ill-suited to a culture characterized by fake news, social media, misinformation, and bad science. We have become walking, talking prey to 21st-Century Snake Oil salesmen. In The Skeptic’s Guide to Sports Science, Nicholas B. Tiller confronts the claims behind the products and the evidence behind the claims. The author discusses what might be wrong with the sales pitch, the glossy magazine advert, and the celebrity endorsements that our heuristically-wired brains find so innately attractive. Tiller also explores the appeal of the one quick fix, the fallacious arguments that are a mainstay of product advertising, and the critical steps we must take in retraining our minds to navigate the pitfalls of the modern consumerist culture. This informative and accessible volume pulls no punches in scrutinizing the plausibility of, and evidence for, the most popular sports products and practices on the market. Readers are encouraged to confront their conceptualizations of the industry and, by the book’s end, they will have acquired the skills necessary to independently judge the effectiveness of sports-related products. This treatise on the commercialization of science in sport and exercise is a must-read for exercisers, athletes, students, and practitioners who hope to retain their intellectual integrity in a lucrative health and fitness industry that is spiraling out-of-control.
