Gua-sha

A mild form of myofascial release using a special implement in a scraping motion over a ligament in order to apply friction to the skin, often times along the meridian channels. This scraping motion produces a mild petechial response that releases unhealthy blood stasis, detoxifies toxins, promotes metabolic cellular repair, increasing oxygen saturation and relieves hypertonicity and pain. This technique boosts circulation, encourages lymphatic drainage, and assist in breaking up knots and nodules that can sometimes interfere with optimal circulation, leading to pain, discomfort, tension, and tightness in the body's muscles.

"Wellness is the complete integration of body, mind, and spirit - the realization that everything we do, think, feel, and believe has an effect of on our state of well-being."
