Gua Sha

Gua Sha is a healing technique that has been commonly used throughout Asia for many years. Gua means to rub or friction. Sha is the term used to describe congestion of blood at the surface of the body. When friction is applied in repeated even strokes, the sha will be drawn to the surface of the skin. 

Benefits of Gua Sha include: moving stuck blood, promoting normal circulation to the muscles, tissues, and organs directly beneath the surface treated, decreasing pain and stiffness and increasing mobility. 

This service can be booked as an Add-On to a massage to allow extra time or when requested can be incorporated into a 60 or 90 minute massage. 

Cupping

Cupping, which dates to the early fourth century, is one of the oldest methods of treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Massage cupping is performed by applying ‘reverse pressure’ to the body, via glass or plastic suction cups that are generally placed or massaged along problem areas, in the direction of natural lymphatic flow.
