A more targeted treatment for pain and injury. Remedial massage is done with a goal in mind, like treating a knee, shoulder or back injury. It will often be done over a series of sessions, where the therapist is constantly assessing the state of the patient and noting any improvements or deterioration. This allows the treatment to be adjusted for the best possible chance of recovery.

Cupping therapy is an alternative healing practice that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction.
During a cupping session, the cups are pumped with air to create a vacuum effect when placed on the skin. This suction causes the skin and superficial muscle layer to be drawn up into the cup, resulting in a localized area of raised skin. The cups are typically left in place for a few minutes or moved around the body to achieve different therapeutic effects.
