If you tuned into the Olympic swimming last summer, you might have noticed dark red circles on a few prominent athletes, namely Michael Phelps.  With almost half of the world watching, cupping therapy was having its moment in the spotlight.  The coverage (and curiosity) spawned hundreds - if not thousands - of features about the background, benefits and potential concerns related to cupping.

I've been working as a therapist on the PGA TOUR for over a decade.  In my career, I've worked over 250 events, helping 40+ pro golfers, including four 2016 Ryder Cup members: Jimmy Walker, Brooks Koepka, JB Holmes and Brandt Snedeker.

I had the opportunity to present about cupping therapy at the 2016 World Golf Fitness Summit and it generated sincere interest from the TPI community.  Since I use cupping methods with a few of my players and thought it would be interesting to share some of the insights I've gathered.

Chris Cooper recently finished his Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Level 2 Junior Certification which gives him advanced knowledge on creating fitness programs and athletic development for golfers ages 6-17.
