Gua Sha involves scraping the skin with a flat tool in a specific direction. The effect is superficial but powerful on circulation and fascia.
Superficial fascial tension, neck and back stiffness, locally inflamed areas, that feeling of "stuck" skin.
Firm but bearable scraping, often described as surprisingly liberating.
The "sha" — the redness that appears — is the goal. It reflects stasis coming to the surface and fades within a few days.
I apply oil, then scrape the area with a smooth-edged tool in short, regular passes. The movement always follows the direction of the fibres and the muscle chains involved.
Yes, redness that usually fades within 2 to 5 days. It is not painful.
I practise therapeutic Gua Sha on the body, not cosmetic facial Gua Sha.
Broken skin, sunburn, clotting disorders, anticoagulant treatment. Please mention it before the session.
