Gua Sha massage is a manual therapeutic technique originating from traditional Chinese medicine. It involves working with the tissues using specially shaped scraping tools, influencing microcirculation, lymphatic drainage, tissue tension, and overall skin quality.
This training presents Gua Sha massage as a conscious manual procedure, including the anatomy of facial tissues, client qualification, selection of tools and glide products, and control of movement direction, pressure, and tissue response during the treatment.
