GUA SHA TREATMENTS

Gua, meaning "to scrape" and Sha, meaning "sand" is an alternative therapy that includes scraping of the skin to treat muscle pain and tension. Gua sha is a part of traditional Chinese Medicine that shows areas of stuck energy/tension. The redness that comes forward is called Petechiae (Pa-teek-ee-eye). This redness comes from an energetic release and shows a positive change in the flow of Qi in the person’s body. It is possible for clients to feel either a tickle or pain, if this occurs we can change the pressure or stop completely.
