Gua Sha Therapy

Gua Sha involves 'scraping' to specific areas of the body using a smooth-edged tool to  restore the body's flow of energy by working points of tension and encouraging blood flow to relieve tension, inflammation and encourage healing.  Gua Sha literally translates to 'scraping sand' which makes reference to the light redness and speckled petechiae (red spots) that can temporarily appear on the skin after treatment.

Gua Sha can help with pain relief, relieving muscle tension, improving circulation and lymphatic drainage, reducing inflammation and promoting the bodies natural healing processes. It can also be used in the  complimentary treatment of some ailments.  Gua Sha can be combined with Crystal Therapy and/or  Acupuncture to improve health and wellbeing. At Soul Focus, Gua Sha techniques do not include massage.  Gua Sha is not an alternative to medical care and treatment should be used alongside advice/treatment from your GP/Specialist Practitioner.
