Gua Sha

We proudly offer Gua Sha Therapy, an ancient healing technique used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote circulation.

Gua Sha involves gently scraping the skin’s surface with a smooth tool, helping to release muscle tension, stimulate blood flow, and support the body’s natural healing process. This non-invasive treatment is perfect for those seeking relief from pain, stress, or chronic conditions in a natural, holistic way.

What Is Gua Sha Therapy?

Gua Sha is a therapeutic practice where a specialized tool, typically made of jade or another smooth material, is gently pressed and stroked along the skin. This action helps to break up stagnation in the body’s energy (Qi) and blood flow, encouraging circulation and releasing toxins.
 
This therapy is often used to treat muscle pain, stiffness, and tension, but it’s also effective for addressing internal imbalances. Gua Sha can be performed on various parts of the body, depending on the specific condition being treated, and is sometimes used in combination with acupuncture for enhanced results.

What to Expect During Your Gua Sha Session

Your session will begin with a consultation to understand your health history and wellness goals. Based on this information, we determine the best areas to focus on and whether Gua Sha will be used as a standalone treatment or combined with other therapies such as acupuncture.

  • The TreatmentA smooth Gua Sha tool will be gently stroked over the skin in targeted areas, such as the neck, shoulders, or back. This process encourages circulation and releases tension in the muscles.
  • AftercareWhile Gua Sha may leave temporary red or purple marks (known as “sha”), these marks are painless and will fade within a few days as the body heals. The treatment is often followed by herbal remedies or other holistic practices to enhance recovery.

During the session, most patients find Gua Sha to be a deeply relaxing experience that releases built-up tension and stress, promoting a sense of relief and calm.
