Enjoying a cuppa! Seacrest rolls up his T-shirt to experience ancient medical therapy on his second day on Live With Kelly And Ryan

It was Ryan Seacrest's second day as co-host of Live With Kelly And Ryan.

And he was happy to roll up his grey T-shirt and lay down on a bench for a special wellness segment with integrative health expert Dr. Taz Bhati on Tuesday.

The good doctor applied special suction cups to the 42-year-old's back, explaining that the ancient alternative medicine is said to increase circulation and help drain excess fluids and toxins.

It's used for many reasons including pain relief, to reduce inflammation, to promote blood flow and relaxation.

Ryan certainly looked relaxed during his treatment, laughing and joking with Dr. Taz and the audience as Kelly looked on.

After the show, he shared an Instagram snap showing him on the bench, smiling, with the cups on his back as Kelly sat next to him wearing a pink flowery dress and a very straight face after Dr. Taz attached suction cups to her cheeks.

Ryan was introduced as Kelly's new co-host on Monday after she teased it on Instagram at the weekend.

His move into the seat next to her comes nearly a year after Kelly's former co-host, Michael Strahan, left the show for an anchor slot on ABC’s Good Morning America.

Since that time, Kelly has been joined by a series of celebrity co-hosts as she tried to find a replacement with Ryan appearing several times.

He is moving from Los Angeles to New York for the Live gig, but will continue to host his syndicated daily drive-time radio show for L.A.’s KIIS-FM and the weekly American Top 40 radio program, according to Variety

The plan is to build a radio studio for Seacrest at WABC-TV New York, where Live is filmed.
