Cupping Therapy Set, 19 Cups Cupping Kit for Massage Therapy, Cupping Set with Pump for Back Massage, Pain Relief, Physical Therapy

I fractured three bones in the ankle in a "very complicated break" (per orthopedic surgeon) and had surgery in which I received two metal plates with about 13 screws at the end of July, 2022. I was in a fiberglass cast for seven weeks and then wore a boot for nearly 2 months. I had physical therapy weekly until about February, 2023. By the time I stopped physical therapy, thanks to the excellent orthopedic and rehabilitative care I received, I was able to walk without a cane or crutches and without any limp. I was 80 at the time of the accidental injury.At least two of my physical therapists advised me to buy a cupping set to use the ancient Chinese therapy for relieve the discomfort from the "tight feeling" around my over 4" long scar. I purchased this set at Amazon in February, 2023.-- and bought 32 cups when the most I ever used simultaneously was two cups. I did not use any skin ointment on the scar except for occasional vitamin E and sporadic use of sunscreen on the scar when I went out without socks on. I did not ever receive any surgery, laser, freezing, cortisone shot, radiotherapy, or anything else by a medical professional for keloid reduction. At the physical therapists up through February, 2023, I estimate I had less than ten sessions of a few minutes each of cupping.The photo on the left was taken on March 15, 2023, shortly after I had started cupping.You might have seen professional athletes after cupping with several raised round marks about 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter. My lead therapist said that was because the cup was left on for four minutes or more which caused blood capillary bursting and told me I could avoid those temporary marks by cupping for less than 4 minutes at a time.For the first few months, I cupped for a few minutes nearly daily. Then I started doing it far less often after I reached the anniversary of my injury in July, 2023. I had read somewhere that the keloid was "permanent" one year after injury so I thought it was futile to continue cupping regulary.Much to my surprise, I looked carefully at the scar in spring 2024, and saw the scar had shrunk a lot. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo but a one-inch portion after the top first inch had become completely flat and was normal skin color. Also the end which once curled around the ankle bone has shortened, was less angry red and flatter. Wow, I thought, there's progress in scar reduction! So since then, I started cupping again, trying to cup at least once a week.The photo on the right was taken on November 3, 2024. As you can see, the scar is shorter, thinner, has disappeared in parts and the skin color is far lighter than in was in March, 2023.Considering that at my age, skin cell turnover is about 50% slower than for younger people, I get new skin cells between 1 ½ to 2 months, I am optimistic that more of the scar will disappear in the future.

Love the variety of different sized cups that come with this kit. Works great to treat low back pain.

This is worth every penny. I've been paying for cupping for over 20 years. This works great. In some areas it may be hard to place by yourself. They stick well and I felt great afterwards.

We love these additional to our med supplies. Works great in dealing with soreness and for healing in specific areas. They really work.

works great! awesome because you can do it by yourself! very durable! gets the job done!

Received this USED nasty with grime and hair all over it. Will be returning immediately. So gross.

Many cupping sizes. I absolutely love using these throughout the week on my entire body.

Over half the cups have a small crack in them. Only had for about a month. They were never dropped or anything that should have cracked them. Disappointed and wish I could return but missed the window by 6 days.
