Gua Sha

Gua Sha employs tools that have a thin but smooth edge. They are used to repetitively (but gently) rub the skin. Much like cupping, Gua Sha is designed to relieve tension in the muscles, boost blood circulation and encourage lymphatic drainage to banish inflammation. It also helps break up fascia, as well as, release muscle tension and toxins from the body.

Cupping

Therapy using suction to draw unwanted cellular debris to the skin to be eliminated. Cupping increases blood flow and can allow for healthy nutrients to pass through the tissue. The color pulled up to the skin can be used to diagnose inflammation, chronic injury sites or other types of dysfunction.
