Conor McGregor, like Benzema, bets on alternative therapy
The Irishman has published an image in which he appears lying on a stretcher and undergoing cupping therapy.
Conor McGregor appears happy. His return to the octagons of the UFC is closer than ever, and in business, the Irishman continues providing good news, thus increasing his great fortune, with which he has also become one of the richest athletes, rubbing shoulders with the like of Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi for several years.
However, the wrestler has also had to deal with some incidents in the last month, such as the hit he suffered when he was riding a bicycle, as a car hit him. Now, because of this accident, McGregor is being treated, and he has shown it through his Instagram profile with an image in which he can be seen receiving alternative therapy. This trend jas also been seen recently from Karim Benzema, Jack Grealish and Andy Murray, among others.
In the case of McGregor, his post shows him lying on a stretcher with some hot glass vials on part of his right arm and back. A treatment called cupping therapy that leaves large circular marks on your skin afterwards.
Cupping therapy for UFC’s McGregor
The Irishman wrote a caption explaining his recovery after the accident he suffered and sending his support to Turkey and Syria.
“Got a bang of a car full speed. Feel good tho but defo some trauma. Appreciate the help from my long time masseuse and friend, doctor pain @vasile_bria_dr_pain,” he said. “God bless all of those in Turkey and Syria currently! Mother Nature please go easy on our bodies. God please, our souls.”
Regarding alternative therapy, cupping is said to produce multiple muscular benefits including the strengthening of blood vessels, managing to increase blood circulation in the areas where it is applied, and also increases the production of synovial fluid. Harvard Medical School did a piece on it, if you want to know more.
