Gua Sha involves therapeutic scraping techniques used to relieve muscle tension, promote circulation, and restore tissue balance. This traditional Chinese modality supports mobility, circulation, and fascia health.
Gua Sha does require some self care before and after to be most effective. Make sure to hydrate before your massage to allow sufficient fluids between the skin and muscle layer. After gua sha we will ask that you stay relatively warm and well hydrated for 2-3 days following your treatment to protect your immune system. Also know that gua sha often leaves discoloration that can be red or purple which may last as long as a week following treatment.
