Gua Sha

Gua Sha is natural therapy which involves scraping your skin to improve your circulation with a massage tool. This is an ancient healing technique that can help with chronic pain and improve overall health. Dr. Ye and her team at Juntendo Clinic are experts in gua sha and have 30 years of experience. Your technician at Juntendo Clinic will scrape your skin in a downward motion with a gua massage tool to increase blood flow.  

Gua sha is intended to get rid of inflammation which may cause chronic pain. Rubbing the surface of your skin repeatedly will help reduce inflammation and promote healing. Gua sha is mainly performed on patient’s back, neck, legs, and arms. A gentler version of gua sha can be used on the face. Gua sha treats a wide range of health issues like joint pain, muscle pain, inflammation, migraine headaches, and neck pain.

Testimonials

  • "Earlier this year, I woke up one day with extreme pain in my right shoulder. After a trip to the emergency room and an orthopedic surgeon appointment, it was discovered that I had calcific tendinopathy. The diagnosis was that I would need to be in a shoulder immobilizer for 3-4 months for painful rehab and months of harsh prescription medications. This is when I consulted with Dr. Kari and Kimberley. After the first treatment, I was able to remover the shoulder immobilizer. By the third treatment, I was back at full strength. I owe my ability to enjoy my summer to Juntendo Clinic and recommend Dr. Kari and Kimberly to everyone I speak with."
