Gua Sha Massage in Gothenburg
Visiting address:
Introduction
Gua sha is a form of therapy that has its roots in traditional East Asian medicine. The therapy consists of repeated stroking of the skin with a tool that has blunt edges. Traditional tools include animal horns, bones, spoons and polished stones. Gua sha is said to increase blood circulation, stimulate the lymphatic system, reduce muscle tension and improve skin renewal.
In Gothenburg, Fascia Clinics specialize in treating the body’s fascia, a network of connective tissue that links all the anatomical parts and physiological systems of the body together. The fascia’s interconnecting network makes the body a whole. A fascia treatment will thus be able to affect the whole body and all its systems.
What is Gua Sha Massage?
Gua Sha: Tradition Meets Modern Therapy
Gua Sha has been practiced in China and other parts of Asia for thousands of years as part of traditional Chinese medicine. This therapy uses tools such as jade, stone, bone or animal horn to scrape the skin. This was done to increase blood circulation and reduce stagnation. Nowadays, jade stones or disposable tools are most often used for gua sha. Outside Asia, gua sha is used more as a beauty treatment as it is said to improve blood circulation and the skin’s renewal process. A gua sha treatment can leave red marks on the skin that can be painful.
The Goals of Gua Sha Massage
In terms of health and well-being, Gua Sha offers a range of benefits. It is said to promote blood circulation, relieve muscle tension and reduce inflammation. By releasing muscle tension and reducing inflammation, Gua Sha can increase mobility and well-being.
Benefits of choosing FasciaClinics for Fascia Treatment
Individualized treatments
For us at the FasciaClinics, no two clients are the same. We believe that each individual has unique needs and symptoms that require a personalized treatment plan. Therefore, we conduct a thorough consultation and pre-treatment. This allows us to individualize treatment and maximize the effect of each session.
How a fascia treatment works at the FasciaClinics
Preparation
Our therapists will have access to a health form for you to fill in before the first visit. The therapists can then do a thorough review of your medical history, your current health status and what your goals are. A clear picture will also emerge of your specific needs and any problem areas that need extra attention. Your first visit will start with a consultation where we will discuss your health form and your current symptoms. We will also take and scan your balance and posture to see where imbalances and compensations exist, and how these may affect you.
The treatment process
After the consultation, we start the actual fascia treatment. The treatment is done with clothes on and no oil is used. The treatment is usually not painful, although it is very deep. Our therapists are specially trained in fascia treatment based on the latest research. The therapist uses both their hands and a Fascia Innovation machine that sends out deep waves into the body. These speed up the circulation and dissolve the tightening of the fascia. In the treatment, we also adjust the pelvis, reduce tension on the vertebrae and soften the entire shoulder area. We focus on correcting imbalances in the body so that the loads in the body become more even. A more even body reduces the risk of injury and speeds up the body’s recovery.
After the treatment
After the treatment, it is normal to feel tired and sluggish. If the therapist deems it necessary, you may be given advice and exercises to take home. This can help you maintain your positive treatment results and further improve your performance. Remember, it is important that you are willing and consciously engage daily to experience positive changes. Otherwise, there is a high risk that your problems will recur.
Use your wellness allowance for Fascia treatment
Using your wellness allowance for fascia treatment is a great way to invest in your own health. The FasciaClinics are authorized for wellness, making it easy to use your allowance to cover the cost of treatment. This gives you the opportunity to maintain your physical well-being on a regular basis without financial stress.
