Gua Sha Hot & Cold Body Treatments

Gua Sha is a natural alternative therapy that involves scraping your skin with a massage tool to improve your circulation. This ancient Chinese healing technique may offer a unique approach to better health, addressing issues like chronic pain.

In Gua Sha, a technician scrapes your skin with short or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue, which increases blood flow. They make these strokes with a smooth-edged instrument known as a “Gua” massage tool. The technician applies massage oil to your skin and then uses the tool to repeatedly scrape your skin in a downward motion. We can use hot and cold Gua Sha tools to include added benefits.

Gua sha is intended to address stagnant energy, called chi, in the body that practitioners believe may be responsible for inflammation. Inflammation is the underlying cause of several conditions associated with chronic pain. Rubbing the skin’s surface is thought to help break up this energy, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

Students will learn techniques how to do the whole body Gua Sha massage using hot and cold Gua Sha tools.
