CUPPING & GUA SHA
TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES FOR RELAXATION & WELLBEING
Cupping and Gua Sha are traditional Chinese Medicine techniques that work with
the body’s tissues to support circulation, ease muscular tension and promote relaxation and wellbeing
CUPPING
Cupping uses gentle suction to lift the skin and underlying tissues. It may be used to support circulation, relieve muscular tension and promote a sense of relaxation.
Cupping can be particularly useful when muscles feel tight, heavy or uncomfortable.
GUA SHA
Gua Sha uses a smooth-edged tool to gently stimulate the skin and underlying tissues.
It may be used to ease muscular tension, support circulation and promote relaxation. Gua Sha can also be incorporated into facial treatments where appropriate.
Cupping may leave temporary circular marks on the skin. These usually fade naturally within several days.
Gua Sha may cause temporary redness or mild sensitivity, which normally settles naturally.
Your treatment is always adjusted according to your comfort, needs and response.
