My muscles are getting looser from using these cups. Last night, I was able to put all thirteen 2 inch cups on my left thigh without them falling off, and I was able to walk around the house like that. When I first started this, I had trouble keeping more than 1 at a time on there.
I've been using these things anywhere I can make them stick. Arms, legs, neck, shoulders, armpits. If it's tight, I'll put a cup there. The only drawback I see about these, is, the purple circles they leave all over your body. I look like a leopard or something, but I can live with that. They fade away in a few days. Also, after I've worked on a certain area a few times, they don't show up as bad, and they fade away much faster.

My wife posted a picture of me on facebook one day with some Chinese cups on my back. Her friend replied that it was, "Hokum". I wasn't sure what that meant so I looked it up. It means, "Pretentious nonsense". Everyone's entitled to their opinion but I disagree with that.
I've been using these for a couple of months now and I think they're a very useful tool. I can tell a big difference in the flexibility of my muscles. They feel much softer and pliable and my movement is improving. I also think that the suction helps to separate layers of muscle and decompress things. After more than 30 years with TOS, that's what I want. Compressed muscles and joints are a big part of this, so I'm going to continue to use these.

I just came across this article where they're calling cupping, "Myofascial Decompression" or MFD for short. She's using movement with the cups on just like I am.http://breakingmuscle.com/mobility-r...pping-athletes

Lots of people "pooh pooh" anything they don't understand or want to learn about..
I figure if it doesn't hurt you and doesn't have any bad side effects, it is worth trying.

I agree, and the nice thing about these is I can do them myself. I don't have to pay someone else. I think I paid about $42 for the set, including tax and shipping. One visit to see someone would probably cost me that.
