Gua Sha Massage Service
Therapeutic Gua Sha Massage in Denver Highlands
During a Gua Sha massage, your practitioner will rub a thin layer of oil onto the skin of the area to be treated. They will then draw a flat, smooth jade or rose quartz stone across your skin, gently scraping it. This scraping massage has been traditionally used to manage pain and other health conditions. The back, neck, buttocks, legs, and arms are often treated. Gua Sha massage will leave behind some red marks which generally clear up within a few days. Your acupuncture therapist will not use more pressure than needed or that you are comfortable with.
Gua Sha massage is performed alongside acupuncture and other forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). If you are looking for acupuncture therapy including Gua Sha Lower Highlands, Denver based Refuge Acupuncture can fulfill your needs.
