Thank you very much I did before yesterday full legs massage, yesterday full arms massage and I can say I'm happy I have knees arthritis, meniscus fissure, fatigue, muscular dystrophy...and after I did this, I feel more "lighter ", I walk with more ease,I didn't feel so much hight on my body Thank you again 💓 with appreciation 🙏🙂
Thank you for this. I have been practicing on myself and clients for a couple of years It's been a life saver. The miracles I have witnessed are unbelievable.. I must say having another person that is proficient at this technique to work on you is way better..... The deep bruising I have witnessed that then heals is so amazing. Wish I could leave photos here. Blessings Tamzen
I have Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Myofascia Pain, Chronic Fatigue, Sciatica, Migraines, ADHD, and Severe Anxiety. Needless to say, I’m in so much pain that I frequently do a lot of self-massage. I wish I had access to a massage therapist to help, but I don’t. I ran across one of your videos about 5 days ago and was pleasantly surprised that Gua Shu was so helpful for people with these conditions. So I purchased a nice set and am raring to get started. Thanks for the video.
Benz Girlz oh my- I’m so so sorry to hear that. All these conditions kind of all come in a package don’t they. 😩. I don’t know if you have seen this yet, but I did a video on how to do this with fibro and why it works, so if you haven’t watched it yet I would. ruclips.net/video/Yl1H_SmVeyY/видео.html I started this channel with the intent of helping others who are suffering like I was. When it worked I knew I had to tell the world because At no point did any doctor tell me any of this. When this helps you it will mean everything to me! So please let me know!
Look up for a SCENAR by RITM (from Russia, city Taganrog) Its amazing device and does a lots of wonders. If you need more info there is a rep in USA who is official rep for RITM SCENAR. Sending healing your way!!!
I would like to recommend to you the book and dvd from Arya Nielsen called “Guasha: a traditional technique for modern practice”. Arya is an acupuncturist who has been practicing and teaching since the seventies. She has a research doctorate and faculty appt at Beth Israel medical center. She is the foremost authority on Guasha in the United States. Even if Guasha is not your only modality, there are several basic principles you should know to practice it correctly. Direction is important and the muscle should always be relaxed. I am a huge fan and practitioner myself. I love seeing this tremendous modality get further exposure.
Thanks so much for this video! Everyone I know (including myself) has one or more of the problems you listed. I think this will really help. Thanks again.
My myofascial journey started by doing "smashing" exercises like using rollers and lacrosse balls. However, I find gua sha/scraping to be easily twice as effective and longer lasting. It would be nice if you made a video when to smash and when to gua sha? the only reason I can think of smashing is if you cant scrape it, like you cant scrape your back by yourself but you can smash. I'm tempted to throw my trigger point tools away if gua sha beats it in every way. Also you're very attractive, wish more people took care of themselves as well as you do.
First off, Thank you Damon:). You just made my day. . And yes I agree that modalities like foam rolling are less effective for many parts of the bod. Thats a great idea for a video though. I pretty much just use my roller for parts I can't scrape. Though sometimes it's good to do both, especially if I have an injury. sometimes you need a little pin and stretch on that lacrosse ball to get it all stretched out. What tools do you use for trigger point?
@@Zionsedgemassage I was thinking similarly for myself. I have rubber Yoga Tune Up / Roll Model Method balls. They are grippy and designed to work with fascia. I'm starting Gua Sha on my body (besides my back) today!
I had repetitive strain in my shoulder which has led to me experiencing pain in both arms, elbows, ahoulders and neck. Do you have any particular advice/videos on this or should I just follow this video?
Hey Tyann, I used to actually used to live next to you, and my mother-in-law even used to live with you guys. I run Spartan races just like you used to and I am wondering if scraping the night before a race would be a good idea, or not. I just used the backside of a butter knife the other night before I got my tools and my left calf is bruised (which sounds like it is normal), but I don't want to get too bruised the night before a Beast, or even an Ultra where I will be doing a lot more obstacles like the Tyrol Traverse, or walls, inverted walls, etc.where they will come in contact with that bruised area and hurt too much. Is there a benefit to doing this before a race? I've been told that I might have issues with my IT band, which have led to a fractured tibia, which I am currently recovering from (and I'm headed to the Vegas races this month, to WALK!!!). Thanks for sharing these awesome videos!
Hi Christopher! How is your mom doing? Hope she is doing well- she is a sweet lady. So with scraping, if you do it the day before, it’s only for a light brush over. I definitely wouldn’t create any petichae. Yes the bruising is normal - but for deeper work, I would give your body a while to recover from it. Its likes a deep tissue or a hard workout. So maybe a week before or more.
i get alot of spasms going all the way in to my fingers if i work on the underside of my upper arm on the left side :X should i stay away from this area or is that something thats hould be worked on?
Hi Janet, Rolling the right way can be effective and helpful, but it doesn't produce the same results. It just doesn't release fascia the same way as Gua Sha
Hey girl! I´ve done gua sha in myself last night after about 30min in the asana mat(do you know this? I´ve been trying everything!) in my neck and slept for like 11 hours!!! Do you think this was the gua sha?? Woke up very groppy. Do I need to pass on oil or it can be just moisturizing? My skin has to be clean? Can´t use it a little all day long? My skin didnt get red, I don´t know if it´s because I did not so much because I´m very white and get red very easily just by massage. How long shoul I do? The parts that aches the much are my cervical and scapula area.I do everything, foam roller, electrial massager, asana mat, yoga, lots of pepper cream to numb but nothing really worked 100% so far....=( still looking for an answer to live with this chronical pain that has been with me for the past 14 years(ps: I´m only 31) =( thank you, you´re inspiring as a dancer(dance to your choreos until I die lol) and also as a therapist and a fellow fibro buddy, inspiring to see u living a normal life, that´s the goal!! S2 s2 xoxo
Hi Lara - Sorry it took so long to respond. And I feel ya girl. Living with chronic pain- no one understands. Since it's been 3 weeks, I'd love to hear how you responded to it. Did you keep up with it? Gua sha can definitely help you sleep better - Though maybe you went a little too long. But when you do Gua Sha, definitely make sure you have oil or cream on your skin. - and it will feel better if its clean. If your skin isn't getting red, it wasn't quite ready for it. It probably needed to be warmed up more, massaged more before gua sha.
abeegle1 hi there. That’s a great questions. Part of the reason is that I was just demonstrating and hadn’t warmed up my fascia. I usually do this after a workout, or after I do some ultrasound in the area on myself. You get a lot more color when it’s ready to go. If you don’t get any coloring, you prob need to warm it up more. 👍
abeegle1 I go into a little more depth here on the thigh if you want to do hamstring. Let me know how it goes! ruclips.net/video/CaZQaz6qeu8/видео.html
@@Zionsedgemassage I looked you up and saw you're in Utah. I'm in Baltimore MD. If you visit the east coast, and looking for a client while you're here, let me know. I'm not sure if i will try it by myself. Fear factor.
abeegle1 people who workout more or are more active see more color. So if she didn’t do much that day to activate her muscles, not much color will show.
Lisa hi There. It absolutely can help. When I do it in my practice for this purpose, the most successful cases are the ones that are the most severe. If someone has to look really close at your skin unevenness, you may not see a difference.
Funny Girl hi there. Yes I would say at least that long if You want to be thorough. I usually try and break it up - lower body and upper body- because I have so many issues. You could always spend a few minutes a day different body parts too. Some spots will need it more than other s
As a fellow massage therapist, gua sha on my arms and hands has been a lifesaver!
Why? Would you please explain more about it what is it and what is it used for and also how it was a lifesaver for you?
Thank you very much

Hat direction do you do on the legs? Up or down?
My mom has been doing gua sha on me since I was a kid. Helps with pain and fever.
Hibiscus Angel yes!! This is awesome.
Where do you live (I’m curious if it’s someone that uses guasha consistently. )
Zions edge massage Maryland. I’m a massage therapist too.
If you want to check out some of the tools I mentioned, I listed them in the description. Who has given this a try?
Those are some beautiful feet
Thank you so much for this! I had no idea Gua Sha could help me with Fibro! You are a blessing~💖 I hope you make more videos like this!
Excellent video as I am just learning about Gua Sha. Thank you!
Thank you for this wonderfully informational video! 💜

I already can tell this is going to hurt but be good for me. I have so many adhesions in my ankles and calves.
I can’t find the bar you used anywhere and it looks really comfortable can you tell me where I can get it?
It's on Amazon...search gau sha scrapping tool.
Oh it's self massage so cool. Touch is life thank you
It really is!
Thanks for sharing
Start point note for me. Starts @ 10:40
So when it pretty much hurts to the touch its probably a lot of adhesion?
I definitely need that bar. I have very thick legs so this woukd be helpful.
I had repetitive strain in my shoulder which has led to me experiencing pain in both arms, elbows, ahoulders and neck. Do you have any particular advice/videos on this or should I just follow this video?
Great video, thank you so much.
You are so welcome ❤️
Can you self gua sha your QL and obliques?
how often can we do this?
Very helpful video! Is this ok if you have varicose veins?
Was going to ask the same thing...
So, will doing this help with the numbness I get from doing massage in my forearm? Thank you for the idea.

It's funny how some videos disappeared from RUclips last week and now they are back.
Really? did this one?
@@Zionsedgemassage Yes, this and the other video where you demonstrated Gua Sha for hip pain. But both came back
Thank you so much! I really needed this 🙏🏼
Thank you 🙏🏼
Can I ask please How often can we do this everyday or and will this lift my skin, thighs arms...? Xoxo
thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you!! :)
Is there a way to do this to your own SI joints and lower back?
i get alot of spasms going all the way in to my fingers if i work on the underside of my upper arm on the left side :X should i stay away from this area or is that something thats hould be worked on?
Can u do this on yourself with vericose viens or I also have acrosyanosis and my skin is super sentitive!
Hi Sara - you have to be careful around veins that stick out, but I do it on mine!
Also your skin will become less sensitive the more you do!
@@Zionsedgemassage awesome! Thank you!😊
can i receive similiar results with rolling different areas????
Hi Janet, Rolling the right way can be effective and helpful, but it doesn't produce the same results. It just doesn't release fascia the same way as Gua Sha
Matur suwun
Come to Dallas!!!
I would love to! Texans are seriously the best. I lived in Austin for a year.
Is it possible to use this technique on other people instead of yourself
Yes! In fact I'm releasing a vid this or next week on how to do a full body gua sha treatment on someone else.
What is an "adhesion"?
This is fascia that has become dehydrated and is sticking together and down to the muscle
Hi, which video of yours shows you doing Gua Sha on your neck & face?

So it’s for slimming the legs?
