I'm at the 40 month mark now and still making progress. Slow and steady wins the race when you're doing this.

Along with the cupping, I've gotten a little bit more aggressive with my myofascial release. I've been using a 2" hard plastic spikey ball on my upper body and a bamboo stick on my legs. I put one end of the stick against the wall and the other end against the tight muscle and lean into it. It penetrates deeper into the muscle than anything else I've tried.

I've gotten most of my ideas on myofascial release, including the cupping, from Naudi Aguilar at Functionalpatterns.com. He has a lot of good videos on myofascial release and he points out that you should keep working towards harder objects to get deeper into the muscle fibers. Foam rollers are too soft in his opinion. Some of this stuff hurts but it gets results.

I had pain in my entire body when I started this and I'm starting to feel much better head to toe. As my movement improves, my pain levels are getting much lower. It just takes time and patience.
