We’ve tried the Therabody Theracup and are now ready to share our experience with you!
Perhaps we will compare it to another smart cupping massage or not in this TheraCup Review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But is the TheraCup the first smart cupping device? Not really. We reviewed the Smart Cupper by Achedaway<\/a> in November 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therabody had a very busy 2022. They released 8 new products\u2014the most in a year. What were those? Did we review them? Perhaps not all of them, but we’ve mentioned some, and we will address them eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We enjoyed reviewing their massage guns (Theragun Pro 5th Gen<\/a> and Theragun Mini<\/a>), but today, in this review, we\u2019ll discuss their smart cupping massage<\/strong> – the TheraCup<\/strong>. We\u2019ll see how it performed during our tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cupping Therapy Massager: How It Boosts Muscle Recovery and Relieves Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does fire cupping work? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you were among the people who were taken aback by Michael Phelps\u2019s \u201cgory-looking\u201d marks on his back at the Olympics in Rio 2016, you are probably already familiar with fire cup treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n

Fire Cup Therapy | The Background:<\/mark><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The medical name for cupping is myofascial decompression<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does fire cupping work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cupping is an ancient Chinese treatment that loosens the fascia around muscles. It is sort of the reverse of massage therapy, which works by pulling on the skin<\/strong> rather than pressing against it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple fire cupping cups are placed on the patient\u2019s back, shoulders, or neck and left for a short while. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t know what fascia is, it\u2019s the connective tissue that holds muscles to the skin. The fascia tends to stiffen when the muscle is overworked (from exercise) or underworked (from a sedentary lifestyle).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cupping therapy massager can help release the pressure within these connective tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a reason celebrity athletes love flame cupping. They are top-level performers who need to be in tip-top form to do what they do best. In addition to Phelps, we saw Conor McGregor with cupping marks early in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve also seen peculiar fire cupping marks on NBA players<\/a> like Stephen Curry, Steven Adams, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. We also saw former New England Patriots linebacker James Harrison using fire cupping therapy as part of his recovery routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tells you just how popular (and definitely effective) flame cupping is.<\/p>\n\n\n

    These are just a few areas where people have reported relief after a fire cup treatment. But there are more proven benefits<\/strong> (backed by scientific studies) of hot cupping, including;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
