Cupping: Recommend no vigorous physical activity after acupuncture procedures for a minimum of four hours. I actually suggest that my patients don't do physical training that day. With that in mind - would say that after that time period one should be able to swim after cupping. People may stare at bruised areas on skin. Cupping may be done with or without prior use of needles in that area.
