GUA SHA BODY FIRMING PROTOCOL
Gua Sha body massage offers several benefits, helping to improve muscle well-being, circulation, and skin health.
IMPROVED CIRCULATION AND LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Gua Sha stimulates blood and lymph circulation, promoting the elimination of toxins and reducing swelling and water retention.
RELIEF FROM MUSCLE TENSION AND PAIN
Deep, controlled movements help relax tense muscles, bringing immediate relief to the back, neck, and shoulders.
