Gua Sha Cupping Therapy

At Kangfu Massage, our Gua Sha & Cupping Therapy offers a powerful combination of traditional Chinese techniques to relieve pain, detoxify the body, and restore energy balance. These therapies have been used for centuries to address both chronic discomfort and acute tension by stimulating circulation and clearing blockages.

🔹 Gua Sha (Scraping Therapy)

Gua Sha involves using a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape the skin along muscles and meridian lines. This action promotes micro-circulation, clears stagnant Qi and blood, and helps release toxins and inflammation.

Benefits include:

Relieves muscle and joint pain

Eases stiffness, headaches, and fatigue

Reduces inflammation and boosts immunity

Accelerates recovery from colds and sore throat

🔸 Cupping Therapy

Cupping uses suction cups placed on the skin to draw blood to the surface. This helps relieve tension, improve circulation, and stimulate the flow of Qi in the body’s meridians.

Benefits include:

Releases deep muscle tightness and back pain

Clears dampness, cold, and toxins

Reduces stress, migraines, and respiratory issues

Improves energy flow and internal organ function
