ACUPUNCTURE WORKS
When Michael Phelps took to the water to swim in the 4x100-meter relay in the Rio Olympics, many noticed weird purple circles covering his right shoulder. The dots are the result of cupping, an alternative therapy elite athletes are using to try to recover faster and perform better. Coupled with acupuncture, athletes claim it aids healing, recovery, and reduces pain.
