What is Scraping and Gua Sha
Gua Sha, also known as scraping therapy, is a treatment that uses a smooth, firm-edged tool.
This technique focuses on the fascia — the connective tissue that can limit movement, cause stiffness, and lead to pain.
By using the specialized edge of the tool, practitioners can precisely target problem areas.
Research from the National Library of Medicine shows its benefits for improving range of motion and reducing pain.
Our Three Step Scraping / Gua Sha Process

This detailed process helps uncover the root cause of your condition.
By addressing the source, scraping & Gua Sha therapy can provide more effective results and faster relief.
