After he started receiving cupping therapies in recent years, his body pains reduced a lot. He is not worrying about his body pains since he started cupping.

“That’s been the secret that I have had through this year that keeps me healthy,” Naddour said. “It’s been better than any money I’ve spent on anything else.”
Many of his fellow team mates do the same, with some even carrying it out themselves, by applying the cups and creating suction with a pump.
