Gua Sha isn’t just for people! I love incorporating Gua Sha into my practice. So, what is it? First of all, horses LOVE it. I use a flat smooth edged tool made of polished stone. I “scrape” the skin using short or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation. This stimulates blood flow.
This ancient Chinese healing technique addresses stagnant energy called “chi” which is believed to be responsible for inflammation.
This might sound hippy dippy to you, but we can all agree inflammation exists. And we can agree improving blood flow and lymphatic function decreases inflammation and supports horses with pain.
This is what Gua Sha helps me accomplish and why I always have this tool with me when I work on your horse. And it feels sooooo good!
