Focused treatments that release stagnation, ease tension, and support long‑term recovery.
Gua Sha and Cupping are Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques used to stimulate circulation, clear blockages, and activate the body’s natural healing response. These therapies are especially effective for muscular tightness, joint stiffness, and post‑training soreness — helping you recover faster and stay injury‑free.
What Are Gua Sha and Cupping?
How They Work
Gua Sha uses a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape the skin, releasing tension in the fascia and promoting blood flow to areas of stagnation. Cupping involves placing suction cups on the skin to lift tissue, flush out toxins, and relieve deep muscular tightness.
Both therapies work with the body’s meridian system to restore balance and improve qi flow. Treatments are tailored to your comfort level and goals, with most clients finding the experience deeply relaxing and energizing.
