Cupping
Cupping applies suction using cups. Temporary skin marks may occur; marks do not measure a treatment result. Read about cupping, suitability and skin precautions.
Gua Sha
Gua sha uses a smooth-edged tool over the skin with controlled pressure. It may cause redness or bruise-like marks. Read about gua sha, comfort and consent.
Manual soft tissue care and acupressure
Manual pressure and movement can be used without cups, tools or needles. Acupressure applies pressure to selected points and related areas. Read about acupressure and supporting manual care.
Every technique depends on assessment, relevant precautions and your consent. You can decline a technique; more procedures do not automatically mean more useful care.
