What is Gua Sha Massage Therapy?

Gua Sha massage therapy is a time-honoured practice with its roots in traditional Chinese medicine. It involves gently scraping the skin’s surface with a smooth-edged tool, such as a jade or rose quartz stone. This scraping action helps release tension, promote circulation, and encourage the body’s natural healing process. This method is designed to enhance circulation by stimulating the microcirculation of soft tissues. In Chinese medicine, it targets stagnant energy, referred to as ‘Qi,’ which often leads to inflammation.
