Gua Sha (Myofascial Scraping)

Gua Sha uses a smooth-edged stone — often jade or rose quartz — drawn firmly across the skin to increase blood flow beneath the surface. It's a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that's been used for centuries to move stagnant circulation and ease tight muscle and fascia.

You may see light redness or marking appear where the stone passes — that's increased circulation at work, not bruising, and it typically fades within a few days.

Your practitioner applies oil to the treatment area, then uses smooth, firm strokes with the stone until the skin shows light redness — a sign of increased blood flow, not injury.
