What Is Gua Sha?

Gua Sha is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique which is used to increase circulation of blood and fluids throughout the body. This can disperse toxicity and improve pain. Gua Sha is similar to cupping in the fact that it can increase blood circulation in an area, however, instead of using a cup and suction, a tool is used to scrape an area of the body that has had a lubricant applied prior to treatment. Tools for Gua Sha can vary, ceramic spoons, jade and even horn can be shaped to use as a tool.


​Gua Sha treatment much like cupping can leave some skin marks/discoloration which is known as “petechiae”. These areas are not painful or tender and typically fade within a few days.

What Do Patients Say?

Many people considering Gua Sha are worried that the experience may be painful, we often hear that the experience feels like a deep massage and tension relief is provided following the session.


What To Expect During Gua Sha Treatment

During your Gua Sha session, a tool will be used to scrape certain areas of the body, promoting circulation in that specific area. A lubricant is used on skin prior to treatment to avoid any injuries.
