Went in for neck pain and walked out feeling so much better—refreshed.
Both gua sha and cupping are generally gentle and should not be painful. You may feel mild discomfort if there is tension in the area being treated, but most people find the experience relaxing. Cupping may leave temporary marks, which are a normal response and fade within a few days.
Gua sha and cupping help release muscle tension, improve circulation, and support lymphatic drainage. They can also promote relaxation, reduce inflammation, and aid in recovery from stress or injury. Many people find relief from headaches, tight muscles, and even sinus congestion.
Wear comfortable clothing, stay hydrated, and eat a light meal beforehand. After your session, it’s best to drink plenty of water, avoid strenuous activity, and keep the treated areas warm to support the body’s natural healing process.
