Why Gua Sha/Graston Technique?
Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese technique that means scraping, and it is used primarily on the "yang areas" of the body such as the back, neck, shoulders, buttocks and limbs. This type of scraping brings heat to the areas of focus and allows the body to express that release and eliminate toxins.

Yang areas
The Technique is primarily used on the yang areas of the body such as the back, neck, shoulders, buttocks and limbs.
Fibrosis & scar tissue
Graston technique was developed by David Graston to break up fibrosis and scar tissue buildup in specific areas of the body.
Stainless steel Tools
The tools used for Graston are stainless steel, and that technique creates inflammation around damaged tissues and allows the body to re-heal the area another time.
Excellent enhancement
Graston Technique allows the body to re-heal the area another time. The technique itself can cause micro trauma to adhesions and scar tissue, but it allows the body to reprocess the original problem area or injury that occurred.
