F.A.Q. WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THE ONE-HOUR TREATMENT? The treatment will be customized according to individual health concerns and based on traditional Chinese medicine basic theory. For example, if a Member has lower back ache, the guasha treatment will include a pre- treatment consultation, customized guasha therapy to address your discomfort, and treatment may be combined with tui na, lymphatic drainage or moxibustion to strengthen self-healing effect based on individual body condition. A photo of your tongue pre and post treatment will be taken as part of the health evaluation. I HAVE DONE TRADITIONAL GUASHA TREATMENTS PREVIOUSLY AND ITWAS SO PAINFUL. IS THE HOLOGRAPHIC MERIDIAN GUASHA THERAPY PAINFUL ASWELL? The pain felt during traditional guasha treatments could be due to the misunderstanding of "sha", a pathological product (toxin) from the body. The Holographic Meridian Guasha Therapy is comfor table and does not cause any pain during or after treatment. It focuses on several elements such as angle, speed and pressure of scraping to ensure the therapeutic treatment is effective and comfor table.
