Gua Sha Therapy

YOUR DESTINATION FOR GUA SHA THERAPY IN HOUSTON

Gua Sha therapy is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves scraping the skin with massage tool to improve circulation and promote healing. It is often used to relieve muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the immune system. The scraping action creates petechiae, or small red spots, on the skin which can release stagnant energy and toxins. We offer Gua Sha for both the body and face.

Experience the Benefits of a Gua Sha massage

Gua sha therapy works by applying pressure and scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool. This action stimulates microcirculation in the soft tissue, which can help reduce inflammation, promote healing and release muscle tension. The scraping motion also encourages the release of stagnant energy or "qi."

Reduce inflammation and pain

Promote lymphatic drainage and detoxification

Improve circulation and reduce muscle tension

Enhance skin tone and texture

What to Expect During a Gua Sha Session

During your gua sha therapy session at templ™, our practitioner will begin by applying natural oil to your skin to allow the tool to glide smoothly over your skin. Next, they will use gentle, repetitive strokes to scrape your skin, applying varying degrees of pressure depending on your specific needs. While some people may experience minor discomfort during the session, most find the experience relaxing and rejuvenating.
