Discover the healing power of Gua Sha massage in Reno at Reno Massage Tree. This traditional therapy uses gentle scraping techniques to ease tension, improve circulation, and restore balance naturally.
What Is Gua Sha Massage?
Gua Sha is an ancient East Asian therapy that uses smooth-edged tools to gently “scrape” the skin. This technique helps release muscle tension, stimulate blood flow, and encourage lymphatic drainage. While it may leave temporary red marks called sha, these are signs of improved circulation and typically fade within a few days.
Benefits of Gua Sha Therapy
Natural Pain Relief
Gua Sha is often used to relieve muscle stiffness, neck pain, and back discomfort. Many clients feel lighter and more mobile after just one session.
Boosts Circulation & Healing
The scraping motion stimulates microcirculation, encouraging faster recovery and reducing inflammation. It’s a natural alternative for those seeking relief without heavy pressure.
Reduces Stress & Tension
Beyond physical healing, Gua Sha offers a calming effect. The slow, rhythmic strokes can ease stress and promote relaxation, making it both therapeutic and restorative.
Supports Healthy Skin
When used on the face, Gua Sha can help reduce puffiness, improve skin tone, and encourage a healthy glow through better circulation.
What to Expect During Your Gua Sha Session
At Reno Massage Tree, your therapist begins with a consultation to understand your needs. Using a smooth stone tool and gentle oil, they apply scraping strokes to targeted areas of your body or face. The pressure is firm but comfortable, tailored to your preferences.
- Session length: Typically 30–60 minutes
- Sensation: A stretching or pulling feeling on the skin
- Aftercare: Stay hydrated, and allow any mild redness to fade naturally within a few days
