Gua Sha is a technique from Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves using a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape the skin, typically along muscles and connective tissue. This controlled scraping stimulates circulation, promotes lymphatic drainage, and encourages the body's natural healing response. By breaking up tension and increasing blood flow to targeted areas, Gua Sha can help reduce muscle soreness, stiffness, and inflammation, while supporting recovery from injury or overuse. This treatment is often utilized during acupuncture treatment to activate the nervous system, promote relaxation and overall wellness.
