Studies in recent years show that the importance and applicability of traditional and complementary medicine has increased. His important supportive contribution to modern medicine has accelerated the increase of related therapy and treatment methods in western countries. With the effect of traditional and religious beliefs, the most applied complementary medicine method in our country is wet cupping therapy (hijama). This method, which is used for various diseases and musculoskeletal disorders, is spreading rapidly among athletes and conditioners in terms of application. However, the point that needs attention and is often overlooked is that this therapy method is an invasive procedure and must be performed by competent people. The aim of our study is to examine the important anatomical points that should be considered for cup therapy applications, especially in the foot region of athletes.
