Cupping is derived from ancient Chinese and Egyptian medicine, and is hugely popular today (the swimmers love it too). How’s it done? A lit match is held inside a glass cup to create a vacuum, this is then placed on the surface of the skin and left for up to twenty minutes. The suction promotes blood flow in the body to prevent build up of lactic acid in the muscles. There’s a number of perks to trying it, from reducing fatigue, to decreasing joint pain – Harry Kane, it’s a good one for spinal injuries (we saw you holding your back last night).
