I was having some significant back pain last weekend because I broke the "don't life with your back" rule. I had a massage Saturday night. A couple days afterward, I was still having a lot of pain. So, I thought I'd give Chinese cupping a try. It's a traditional Chinese medicine practice. Basically, it felt like a reverse massage. In a regular massage, your muscles are being pushed down upon. With Chinese cupping, your muscles are being pulled away from your body. Overall it was pretty relaxing, but didn't do much for the pain. I've since found a Chiropractor and have been a couple times. I got cupped in the afternoon, and this photo was taken in the evening.
You are crazy.
