What effects does Gua Sha have?
Patients may experience temporary redness or mild bruising in the treated areas, which is considered a normal response and typically resolves within a few days.
This therapy is often used to relieve muscle pain, stiffness, and discomfort, as well as to boost overall wellness. It can also help with issues like tight shoulders, back pain, or feeling run-down.
After a session, some redness or light marks will remain on your skin for a few days—this is normal and shows that your body is responding to the treatment. Gua Sha is a safe, relaxing, and effective way to care for your body and improve your health. If you’re curious about how Gua Sha could benefit you, feel free to reach out for more information!
