Heading to Palm Springs over the holidays, and I got to say that first massage photo is pretty suggestive. Any info?

He’s excellent masseur.  Saw him when he lived near LA, before his move to PS. Highly recommend here.

Scraping?

I’ve had it done several times.
 

From Google 

Scraping massage, also known as Gua Sha, is an ancient Chinese massage technique that involves using a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape the skin. 

Benefits: Improves circulation and blood flow, Reduces muscle tension and pain, Breaks down scar tissue and adhesions, Stimulates the lymphatic system, and Promotes detoxification. 

Procedure: 

They use a specialized scraping tool, typically made of jade or stainless steel, to gently scrape the skin in specific directions. 

The strokes are usually downward and away from the heart. 

The therapist may apply pressure to target deeper tissues. 

Heat may also be used to enhance the treatment. 

The therapist applies oil or lotion to the area being treated.

That’s the problem with Google. It says all kinds of nonsense. Massage can provide various health benefits, but it is not a detoxification treatment. The claim is just marketing junk.
