Knoxville sees ‘modest increase in housing diversity' as people seek more affordable homes
KNOX COUNTY, Tenn. (WATE) — Knoxville had a 'modest increase in housing diversity,' last year, according to a report from Knoxville-Knox County Planning. Housing diversity refers to the so-called 'missing middle' housing that includes homes like townhomes and duplexes that may be more affordable than single-family dwellings. The report defines middle housing as 'housing types between single family dwellings, the lowest intensity type of residential development, and multifamily developments, the most intensive form of residential development.' Knoxville Smokies individual game tickets go on sale Knoxville passed the 'Missing Middle Housing' plan in February 2024, changing zoning laws in the hopes of encouraging developers to build more affordable homes. The new report covers the period of February 6, 2024 (around the time the plan was passed) to January 31, 2025. During this time, the report found that, 'the inclusion of MH forms and standards in the City's zoning ordinance has led to a modest increase in housing diversity through the MH projects that have been submitted.' One year since Missing Middle passed: Where does Knoxville's housing shortage stand? The report states that the city has received 50 applications for projects, and if all of these are built, the city will have 143 new dwelling units. Most of the applications were new construction, primarily on vacant lots. 'Applications have increased steadily, though not consistently, since the MH process began,' the report found. 'Applications have been received for all permissible MH housing types. If this pattern persists, this will eventually lead to a greater increase in the diversity of the City's housing stock.' READ: More top stories on The city has received applications for middle housing in 16 neighborhoods with the most coming from Mechanicsville, the report states. Knoxville leaders' goal is to add 6,000 to 8,000 new housing units. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

David Beckham Reveals 'Cupping' is a Big Part of His Recovery Routine – Here's Why
MH cover star David Beckham's 21-year career at the pinnacle of elite football wasn't down to talent alone; you don't turn out 724 times for club and country unless you take recovery pretty seriously. But it wasn't all stretching and protein shakes. In fact, one of his go-to methods was – and still is – 'cupping', a traditional Chinese therapy. 'I love acupuncture and I love cupping,' he tells Men's Health. 'The one thing throughout my career, whenever I was injured, even now, whenever I've got an issue, I've got a guy called James who sees a lot of the rugby players. He comes down, kills me with cups and gets the needles out. It's the one thing that gets me out of it.' The England legend, now 49, is also a fan of ice baths – preferring them over cryotherapy. 'My ice bath is at one degree,' he says, 'and I chop and change going from sauna for 15, bath for five on repeat.' The combination of ice baths and cupping forms a holistic recovery routine that Beckham swears by. Cupping is an ancient form of Chinese medicine that's been practiced for centuries. The process involves placing heated glass cups on the skin, creating a vacuum that suctions the skin and underlying tissue upwards. This suction is believed to increase blood flow and promote healing. Beckham, who's been using cupping for years, is just one of many athletes – including Olympic legend Michael Phelps – who swear by it. To perform cupping, an acupuncturist lights a cotton ball soaked in alcohol and places it inside a glass cup. The fire removes the oxygen, and when the cup is placed on the skin, a vacuum is created. As the air inside the cup cools, it contracts, pulling the skin and tissues upward. This stretching and contracting process is believed to increase circulation and blood flow, helping with both muscle recovery and pain relief. Want to work out like David Beckham?

Each of these muscle-building workouts requires zero kit and can be performed anywhere for a low-stress fitness fix. Click here Advocates of cupping claim it increases blood flow, which, according to Dr Houman Danesh of Mount Sinai Hospital, can 'jumpstart or restart a blunted healing response' in muscles. For athletes, this could mean faster recovery times and better muscle repair post-workout. Dr Reid Blackwelder, past president of the American Academy of Family Physicians, tells MH US that cupping can be thought of as creating a 'sterile inflammation'. By drawing blood into the tissue, the body reacts as if it's been injured, triggering an inflammatory response. This, Dr Blackwelder says, can help mobilise antibodies and speed up the healing process. While there's no definitive scientific proof that cupping works, some studies suggest it can help with pain relief, particularly for conditions like lower back pain and chronic neck pain. However, there's a catch: the results may be influenced by the placebo effect, which means simply believing the treatment works might be enough to experience some benefits. Science is divided on cupping's effectiveness, as it's hard to isolate its impact in clinical studies. Dr Blackwelder notes that cupping is often used alongside conventional treatments, which makes it difficult to determine if it's the cupping itself or other therapies contributing to the relief. Cupping therapy is generally safe, with minimal risks involved. The most common side effect is the appearance of circular bruises on the skin, which are caused by the suction. These marks are not painful and typically disappear after a few days. However, anyone with bleeding disorders or those taking blood-thinning medications should avoid cupping, as it can aggravate the condition. If you're considering cupping, it could be worth trying, especially if you're an athlete or dealing with muscle pain or tension. Dr Blackwelder suggests it could be a beneficial add-on if conventional methods like physical therapy or medication haven't provided enough relief. Just keep in mind that while cupping may help some, it's not a substitute for traditional medical treatments.
