Do you use cupping, electro acupuncture or guasha? 

Yes to all, cupping  is sometimes used for stiffness and tension in a particular area of the body (e.g shoulders). Guasha is also quite effective for various conditions, as well as electro acupuncture to create levels of constant needle stimulation to a specific area and might be used in specific cases for fertility acupuncture.
