Glass cups that draw the tissue up instead of pressing it down, reaching muscle that hands struggle to get into. It leaves round marks, and they fade.
What we use it for
Upper back
Shoulders set like concrete
Deep soreness
After training or a heavy weekend
Stiffness

What the marks mean
- Pale pink
- Common where the muscle was fairly loose.
- Red
- Where the muscle was holding more tension.
- Dark purple
- Often where it has been tight the longest. It looks worse than it feels.
- Fading
- Usually gone within a week to ten days. Keep the area warm until then.
