Cupping guides
Muscle strain and pulled muscle in the calf and thigh: grades 1–3, the first days (PEACE & LOVE instead of rest and ice), rehab week by week, when you can run again and when cupping can start
A muscle strain is a partially torn muscle: a sudden pain in the calf, hamstring, front thigh or groin during running, jumping or a sprint, sometimes with a pop, followed by weakness, swelling and after a few days a bruise that travels downward. Here is how to judge the grade, what to do in the first days (PEACE & LOVE has replaced rest and ice), why early movement heals faster, rehab week by week with exercises for calf, hamstring and thigh, when you can run again, how to avoid re-tearing, when to seek care (Achilles, thrombosis, complete rupture) and when cupping can start and how it is used on the scar tissue.
