LivFit can help you
LIVFIT Chinese medicine (TCM)
Chinese medicine (TCM), cupping is a method of creating a vacuum on the patient’s skin to dispel stagnation (stagnant blood and lymph), thereby improving qi flow. Through suction, the skin is drawn into the cup by creating a vacuum in the cup placed on the skin over the targeted area. The vacuum can be created either by the heating and subsequent cooling of the air in the cup, The cup is usually left in place for somewhere between 5 to 15 minutes. It is believed by some to help treat pain, deep scar tissues in the muscles and connective tissue, muscle knots, and swelling.
Cupping works to:
- Lift skin and other tissues away from the bone (reverse massage).
- Increases linear length of muscles reducing stress across the skeleton.
- Creates micro capillary damage which draws in growth factors and creates new cells.
- It can be used around new tears and new injuries (as increases blood supply and draws out toxins, promoting healing).
- Increases nerve ending stimulation and sensitivity.
- Draws out toxins and stagnant fluids: Especially good for arthritic joints as it flushes out and draws in new fluid.
- Reach into joint structures that are difficult to reach using other massage techniques: such as knees and the sacrum.
- Break down fat cells, cellulite, burns, bites, tight tissues such as scar tissue and stretch marks.

What our customers say
Don’t just take our word for it….
I am a fitness instructor teaching upto 7 classes a week both aerobic classes and weight training classes. I was starting to get really sore calves and shooting pains in my legs. I have always suffered from really tight hamstrings and quads, so I decided that I needed to start maintaining myself better in order for me to teach to the best of my ability. I have been getting massages off Olivia every week for the past 3 or 4 months and she has worked wonders. I would highly recommend her and do so to all my class participants. She is so warm and welcoming, she comes to my home which is perfect for me and tries to fit in around my schedule which is great. Since having my massages with Olivia I have seen huge improvement in my legs and also back, I no longer suffer with the pain in my calves and shins.
I will continue to have massages every week with Olivia, she is always keen to develop and learn new skills which I think is great and comes every week wanting to try something new she has learnt which I love.
If anyone has any aches and pains or just needs a few knots ironed out then I would definitely recommend Olivia. Best thing I ever did Laura Wharton
I initially came to see Olivia on a whim. Having never had a massage before, I was not sure what it would be like. I had been experiencing an increasing number of headaches and migraines and thought it might help, but wasn’t too hopeful. I met with Olivia the first time and told her how I had been feeling and she was warm, understanding and knowledgeable so before she even touched me I felt at ease. Driving home after my first massage I felt better than I had in months (maybe years). I hadn’t realised just how tense I was until I wasn’t any more! Olivia recommended two or three massages initially and I felt increasingly better after each one. Olivia also taught me some exercises I could do at home and gave advice on how to manage between appointments. Before I met Olivia I was experiencing 2 or 3 debilitating migraines a week, and had a headache more or less all of the time. I felt tired and had aches and pains, and my neck crunched every time I moved it! Since those initial 3 massages, I have had 3 migraines in 4 months and I rarely get any headaches at all now. As a result I feel so much better and I have a lot more energy. I really didn’t think it would help, but didn’t think it would hurt to try. I’m now totally convinced. From living in a fog for 12 months, I feel like me again.
