How Is Gua Sha Massage Performed?
Gua sha is typically performed on a person’s back, buttocks, neck, arms, or legs. The pressing and scraping with the gua sha tool can produce an impressive and distinctive reddening of the skin which fades over several days. A gentle version of gua sha is sometimes used on the face to improve the skin’s appearance.
Despite the sometimes-vivid effect on the skin, the stroking technique can feel very pleasant especially for sore tight muscles and is a wonderful combination with Chinese cupping and acupuncture.
