BASIC GUASHA TREATMENT TECHNIQUE
1. Hold the Guasha in the hand so that it is always at an angle of about 45 degrees to the area to be treated.
2. With Guasha, you can pull and push along the skin. By regulating the use of force and the speed of movement, you get
different effects from the treatment. The different shapes of Guasha are also suitable for printing and rolling.
3. Do not treat the top of the bones strongly, between the bones and the sides are often good treatment areas. Joint areas can also
be treated with Guasha .
4. Guasha can be used on bare skin or with massage oil. It can also be treated through clothes.
