PureWave Therapy
PureWave Therapy uses high frequency vibrations to break up scar tissue and improve blood circulation to the local area.
Gua Sha / ScrapingÂ
Gua Sha or Scraping Is a therapeutic practice that uses a rounded tool to rub or scrape the skin. The term “Gua” means to rub or create friction, while “Sha” refers to the stagnant blood that appears near the skin’s surface. Applying consistent friction with the instrument causes the Sha to surface as small red spots, which then evolve into ecchymotic patches over a few minutes. These patches generally vanish within 2 to 4 days, with their color and rate of fading offering diagnostic and prognostic information.
The technique aims to boost blood flow to the muscles, tissues, and organs located just beneath the skin. Immediate relief from stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility is commonly reported by patients. By facilitating fluid movement, Gua Sha helps restore normal metabolic processes, delivering essential nutrients to tissues and removing metabolic waste. It also aids in resolving fever by simulating the effects of sweating.
Following a Gua Sha session, it’s important for patients to cover the treated area and avoid exposure to wind, sunlight, or sudden temperature fluctuations. While light stretching is beneficial, intense physical activity should be postponed on the day of treatment.
