What is Gua Sha / Cupping?

Gua Sha and cupping are two ancient therapeutic techniques that focus on improving circulation and releasing muscle tension. Gua Sha involves scraping the skin with a smooth, rounded tool, while cupping uses glass or silicone cups to create suction on the skin, drawing blood to the surface to stimulate healing and enhance circulation.

How does it work?

For Gua Sha, your therapist will use a scraping tool to apply gentle pressure to areas of tightness or pain. Cupping therapy involves placing cups on targeted areas of the body, creating suction to draw blood and improve circulation. These techniques help release muscle knots, reduce inflammation, and promote faster recovery from pain and tension.
