Guasha
Guasha is a method of treatment that involves gentle scraping across various parts of the body with a smooth edged tool…
Practitioners apply oil to the areas of the body being treated which allows the tool to move across the skin more smoothly. The practitioner will apply pressure to the tool and gently use smooth, firm strokes to scrape across the skin. During the treatment, marks or redness may appear on the skin and may remain for several days after the treatment.
Guasha is used to promote circulation, reduce inflammation, and gently break up stagnant scar tissue. This treatment is similar to Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) used by physiotherapists. This therapy is often a great compliment to acupuncture and is a good alternative for people who are nervous about needles.
Guasha treatments are commonly used to treat musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory and immune problems including the common cold and flu.
