The Science
Anti–Inflammation, Pain Relief & Improved Mobility
A 2017 study showed that using a Gua Sha can provide long-lasting anti-inflammatory effects, pain relief and improved mobility. In regards to popular heat pack therapy for the relief of pain (particularly lower back pain), this study showed Gua Sha use to be equally as effective and potentially longer-lasting than hot pack therapy. Beyond this, the Gua Sha also helped improve flexibility.
