How it's used

This term is a classic example of Cantonese slang that has become widely accepted in daily life. It specifically refers to a traditional style of massage that often involves deep tissue pressure or bone manipulation, rather than a light spa treatment. While it sounds slightly rough, it is used casually by people of all ages to suggest a relaxing break.

Common phrases

Common mistake

Avoid using this term in formal or professional settings, as it carries a very informal, streetwise tone. It is not appropriate for describing medical physiotherapy or high-end luxury spa services.
