Gua sha is a traditional Oriental alternative therapy in which the skin is scraped to produce light petechiae (purple, red or brown spots on the skin) to improve blood circulation. Poor circulation(blood stasis) sometimes leads to chronic pain and stiffness. So, Gua sha massage helps sore, tired, stiff or injured muscle areas by mobilising the tissue and stimulating the blood flow there. These areas receive new oxygenated blood, thus promoting metabolic cell repair, pain relief and faster recovery.
Gua Sha tools work by scraping onto the skin. Sweeping motions with the tool may lead to redness. It is very normal and just indicates increased blood flow in the area.
Gua Sha Massage technique benefits in an instant, as you will immediately be relieved from muscle pain, chronic back, shoulder or neck pain. By activating trigger points, the gua sha tools can work some magic and ease digestive disorders, dizziness and other ailments. Once done, you’ll automatically start to feel blood circulation in that particular area, with a soothing sensation. These techniques decrease overall time of healing. They reduce the need for anti-inflammatory medication.
