What is a Gua Sha?

Gua Sha (pronunced Gwah Shaw) is an ancient manual technique that uses a tool to scrape the skin, muscle & fascia for the purpose of loosening adhesions or stagnation, relieving muscle tension & promoting normal circulation to these tissues. It creates an expansion of the tissues-increasing blood flow, promoting better functioning and restoring normal metabolic processes by re-supplying vital nutrients to the surrounding tissues. The word Gua translates to Scraping & the word Sha to the Markings that appear.
