We're talking about "cupping" and "holding onto Stackpole". Sounds hot. [video=youtube;5ZVs9GYR5TE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZVs9GYR5TE[/video]
I think this is the same technique a physical therapist here in the Couve from Rebound has been using for years.
I hope they don't mean "new" as in it's a recently invented treatment.. It's an ancient Chinese method that has never been proven to have any medical benefits.
Eastern mysticism for the lol. As long as they aren't doing acupuncture lol. Im surprised more teams dont use hyperbaric chambers. Double the oxygen pressure increases healing as well
Actually those systems are very good. You skepticism is silly. Sometimes the best healing is through environment, release of pressure and nutrition. The product we manufacture would fall into your category of snake oil, but our product has been in medical journals reviewed by peers (other doctors). I suppose you think chiropractic treatment is bullshit too?
Oh, and I don't care if the medical staff uses leeches, facsimile dolls and chicken feathers, if the players stay healthy, more power to 'em!
Its amazing how much western medical institutions, who rely on medications largely developed by chemical companies, are quick to say "no proof that it works"... While there also isn't proof that it doesn't work either. In fact most people who claim it doesn't work have never tried it.
They say it doesn't work because you can't patent the technology. Pharma companies will discredit anything that dips into their bottom line. Don't get me started with some of this bullshit pharma company banter!
Anyone else read the thread title and think they'd invented a new jock strap? I've had the Chinese bowl treatment before and other than looking like you have welts on your back for a few days, I did feel great!
We should clone our players. Then when one of them gets hurt we can just switch out their clone and play them. Also with clones you have lots of spare parts.
The currently available clones can keep the grass short as well. Unfortunately, Basketball is not played on grass fields.
Wookee, you never fail to crack me up (even on O----Live years ago)! Very astute comment. When I finally get my youngest son out to college next year I will make a trip to the Rose City and buy you dinner and all the Coors Light you can drink... errrrr... I will open a new interest bearing savings acct. on Monday. Repped
