Simply put, it is a treatment method that promotes blood and lymph circulation to relieve inflammation and pain to promote recovery. Cupping therapy, which is effective in releasing tight muscles, is used by many sports players.

In the past, Kim Yeon-kyung showed her ‘fighting spirit’ during the 2014 Incheon Asian Games and won a gold medal after 20 years of crossing the Great Wall of China. And now that she is a veteran, she receives cupping treatment because her recovery is slower than before. In the case of veterans, the speed of recovery from fatigue is slow, and physical strength is consumed as quickly as that. The V-League is a league where many games must be played in a short period of time, and it is physically demanding compared to other leagues. Veteran players like Kim Yeon-kyung should take care of their physical strength as rounds go by and be careful of injuries. 메이저사이트
