Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese healing technique where you scrape the skin to release tension and boost circulation. You apply oil, then use a smooth tool to scrape in one direction with medium pressure.

The red mark that appears? It’s called SHA- stagnant blood a metabolic waste rising to the surface so your body can flush it out. Fresh blood rushes in, inflammation drops, and chronic pain finally releases.

The best part? You can do it yourself at home. You don’t need fancy tools. A Chinese soup spoon, regular spoon, jar lid, jade tool- literally anything smooth works. Your muscles don’t care about aesthetics. They just want relief.

Sports Acupuncture is not your grandma’s acupuncture treatment. It is a whole different animal. It creates structural change that you can SEE and FEEL. It is all about activating muscles, fixing your alignment and this results in pain relief, injury prevention and better performance.

Quadratus Lumborum or golfer’s muscle is usually the culprit in most cases of your back “going out”. One wrong move can lock this muscle up and you can no longer move. Most of the time, this has been a long time coming. A lot of people have an elevated ilium without any signs or symptoms, some can get that annoying one sided ache.

To prevent this, find a sports acupuncturist who can evaluate you and check your alignment. With a few motor points and some stretching, this is quite an easy fix and not only does it drop your pelvis but also prevents that complete lock in your back on the most inconvenient day.

Vertigo? Migraine? Neck tightness? Most of the time the culprit is splenius capitis muscle. Whenever it gets tight, it can cause all of these issues. Try this point to release some of that tension!

That nagging upper back pain? A lot of the time the suspect is rhomboids. This can happen due to poor posture, rounded shoulders, sitting in front of the computer all day. Try these points for some at home self care!

Anxiety? Racing thoughts? This point calms your nervous system. The “ahhhh” moment is literally at your fingertips. Locate it between your eyes or as many know it in the “third eye” position. Gently massage it for 30 seconds anytime your mind needs a break.

Miracle point? I’d say. This is one of the most powerful points in acupuncture. LI4 is great for sinus pain, digestive issues, low back pain. There are very few things that this point can’t do. I call it the aspirin for the whole body. It boosts circulation to improve pain in many different areas.
