The Curious 'Biting' Massage That's Extremely Popular With A-Listers

Dot Stein is an American masseuse who has it all figured out! Known as Dr Dot, she has quickly become the masseuse to the stars with her very original technique that involves… biting. This probably seems strange to you, but Dr Dot assures people that she doesn’t bite hard and doesn’t leave any marks on her clients' skin.

‘I bite the whole back up and down, in a very fluid motion, bit by bit, avoiding any bones,’ she says.

She also claims that this method promotes blood circulation in a similar way to cupping and thanks to her combination of classic massages with well-placed bites, she can unknot some of the tightest muscles.

A technique she has been practicing for 5 years

Dr Dot’s mother asked her to give her a massage when she was very small, and she started to use her mouth when she realised her hands weren’t strong enough. Over time, she managed to perfect her technique and started to use it on other people. And not just anyone! Dot Stein was just 15 years old when she managed to trade a massage for a concert ticket. The guitarist from Def Leppard loved her massages so much that he got in contact with her every time he was doing a concert in the area. Dr Dot also says that because of her strange gift, she has managed to go to hundreds of concerts for free.

Celebrities love it!

Her incredible technique is rapidly becoming well known with celebrities all over the world and as a result, she has become a mascot for the stars. She has so far bitten Kanye West, Bruce Willis, Katy Perry and even members of the Rolling Stones. These massage sessions that have made her a true business woman, now cost between 150 and 250 dollars an hour and she has even opened a massage school in which she teaches her technique and her students can get their official license. Looks like, this biting massage is going to take over the world!
