Chinese Cupping:
Chinese cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy in which specially made plastic cups are placed onto the skin with suction. This draws up the underlying tissue and when left on for a few minutes, bloody stasis is formed and localised healing takes place.
Cupping is found to effectively work up to 4 inches into the tissue, causing tissues to release toxins. This Chinese cupping method is a very good form of deep tissue massage.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage:

Body Analysis:

This is a very good technique to assure that the massage performed effectively relieves the associated pain or discomfort.
