What is Acupressure/Tui Na/Gua Sha?

Acupressure/ Tui Na and Gua Sha - are nonneedle treatments used to help reduce muscle spasms and relieve pain. Acupressure is a traditional Chinese therapy involving gentle pressure on acupuncture points or meridians to stimulate the flow of qi and blood. Using palpation, other tools such as gua sha tools made of jade stone, and hand-held tools made of plastic or steel stimulate the blood flow through the skin in specific areas of the body, known as acupoints. The philosophy behind the practice works by rebalancing the body’s energy or qi that travels through the pathways called meridians, helping the body release natural chemicals to relieve pain and improve one’s overall health. Various studies have shown its benefits for pain management and other health conditions.
