🙌🏻 Rock pods work! 🙌🏻 A recent study focused on the acute effects of dry cupping therapy on U-19 football players, specifically looking at hamstring flexibility, jumps, strength, and range of movement. Dry cupping therapy showed a statistically significant positive effect on hamstring flexibility, as well as knee and hip movement. This highlights that cupping can be a useful, non-invasive method to improve these parameters, amongst other treatments.

“Running damages your joints”…..🏃‍♀️🏃🏻

I hear this often! But here’s what the evidence actually shows… 🧐

🏃‍♂️Does running cause arthritis? NO!!! in some cases it may actually reduce the effects! 🙌🏻

🏃Recreational runners have LOWER rates of hip and knee osteoarthritis than people who don’t run. (JOSPT, 2017)
🏃‍♂️Some research suggests that cartilage may be "conditioned" by regular, progressive loading from running
🫣However, "excessive" cumulative volume could be detrimental. This tends to be at an elite, high volume level.

❤️Running IMPROVES cartilage nutrition, STRENGTHENS bone, INCREASES muscle capacity, and SUPPORTS healthy body weight. Joints like MOVEMENT. They dislike inactivity.

🏃🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️KEEP RUNNING!! 🏃 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
