BM (Body Massage) in Canto is "DUP GWUT" which literally means 'hammering/pounding the bone'
as there is no chinese character for the slang term "dup" HKer's will just type " ...
Closest to "dup gwut" in Mandarin would be 敲背, which literally means "knock back" (massaging someone's back in a knocking motion, generally with fists).
or 按摩 ....which generally is the kneading kind of massage since 按 literally means "press".
