Gua Sha is therapy used within Traditional Chinese medicine that involves scraping the skin with a rounded, specialized tool. Gua Sha is used to improved circulation throughout the body. Increased circulation can help to decrease inflammation which can help with muscle pain and tension as well as chronic pain. Gua Sha can help to break down scar tissue and connective tissue which can also help to improve movement in the joints. Mild bruising may occur with this technique.
