From the reviews

Have been coming to this establishment regularly. The place is very clean and well kept. My masseuse, Liang, is very skilled. She is great at both soft tissue and deep tissue massage techniques. I will be continuing to come here for regular tune ups as it never disappoints.

★★★★★ — T, Oct 2025

Avy Spa in Palo Alto is my favorite place for Gua Sha massage and headache relief. I often get headaches, neck pain, and upper back tension from working long hours, and every Gua Sha session makes a huge difference. My favorite treatment is Gua Sha with the Hot Stone add-on.

★★★★★ — Leanna, Jun 2026

Had my first deep massage with Lily and I had one of the best massages I’ve ever had. I have very tight shoulders and back and she was able to release the muscles and the pain. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend her skill and attention.

What to expect from your first cupping session

New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
