THIS IS A REMEDIAL BASED MODALITY.

This modality is incorporated during the Remedial Therapy Massage.    

​

​​

INTENT: 

Gua-Sha is a site-specific treatment, natural, alternative therapy that involves a mild scraping on your skin with short or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue, which increases blood flow, improves your circulation addressing issues like chronic pain. Scraping is accomplished with a smooth-edged instrument known as a Gua-Sha massage tool (Photos left).

​

I perform Gua-Sha at site specific regions of comproise only, i.e. : back, neck, arms, and legs. I also incorporate Swedish Massage before and after application of Gua-Sha. I perform this treatment no more then twice within a months time with 1 week in between treatments.  

​

BENEFITS: 

-Breaking down the scar tissue and fascia restrictions that are usually associated with soft tissue trauma  (e.g., a strained muscle or a pulled ligament, tendon, or fascia).

​

-Reducing restrictions by stretching connective tissue in an attempt to rearrange the structure of the soft tissue being treated (e.g., muscle, fascia, tendons, ligaments).

​

-Promoting a better healing environment for the injured soft tissue.
