Gua Sha Class

Gua sha is a traditional form of bodywork used throughout Asia and in many other cultures. It involves using a rounded-edged instrument to rub the skin and muscles and produce a beneficial effect. Gua sha literally means “scraping sand”—- after a gua sha treatment, the skin is usually reddened with small dots (the “sand”).

Gua sha is great for all types of muscle stiffness and aches. It can also treat lung and respiratory conditions, including the symptoms of the common cold.
