Gua Sha Massage Aftercare, what are these bruises?

Posted on by

If YOU have experienced a Gua Sha Body Massage, we hope you are feeling looser and lighter after your recent Remedial Massage treatment.

Gua sha is a therapeutic method of classical Chinese medicine that works to improve circulation and blood flow to reduce tension and chronic pain. The scraping of skin with a gua sha tool causes the appearance of purple or red spots known as petechiae or sha.

Although this may appear visually similar to mild bruising, it actually signifies the impeded circulation of qi, blood or fluids in the area of treatment.  Gua sha is used to address stagnant energy, blood and fluids within the body and to move the body back into a state of homeostasis and promote overall well-being.

We trust that you left the studio feeling rejuvenated and with increased mobility in those tight and painful areas. If your pain persists, please Contact Us.

To maximize the benefits of your Gua sha session and extend the post-treatment feeling, keep reading for a few aftercare tips….

Acupuncture and Massage. The perfect combination to help YOU: available in Southampton

Acupuncture and massage are both very effective treatments to help a range of ailments and concerns. When they are both combined together it can create the best restorative treatment to help melt away the physical tension, quieten down a busy mind and bring the body back to a deeper level of balance.

How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncture involves inserting needles into the body to stimulate sensory nerves in the skin and muscles.

Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy – known as chi or qi – believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. When the qi does not run smoothly throughout the body this can result in illness or imbalance. Imbalanced qi can manifest as a variety of physical and emotional symptoms such as chronic pain, fatigue, low mood, headaches, congested sinuses, anxiety, insomnia, digestive disorders, and menstrual problems. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture is believed to re-balance your vital energy.

Introducing Lidia: Physiotherapy and Cosmetology Professional

Hi everyone!

My name is Lidia and I just joined the You Massage team!

Let me tell you briefly how my journey began….

It all started with a dream; a dream of helping others and living in harmony with myself. I thought the best way to accomplish this is to become a doctor.

However, fate led me to another, and now I know, a better path, to work Holistically. I became a physiotherapist, massage therapist, nutritionist and cosmetologist, helping people without medicine.

Working with clients and listening to their stories, I began to notice that the way we look and feel is based mainly on our lifestyle.

This is how my fascination with integrative health and cosmetology began. This is a client-centered approach that focuses on the root cause of the problem and the whole person – not just physical symptoms. The root cause is usually our lifestyle.

C BD Oil/Balm

 

What is C BD?

C BD (or Cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive component of the cannabis plant (marijuana) that has been shown to help reduce pain, stress, anxiety, and inflammation — but it doesn’t get you high.

Both hemp and marijuana are Cannabis sativa plants, and both contain C BD. However, hemp has much lower levels of THC (Tetrahydro-cannabinol), the psychoactive constituent in cannabis that traditionally gets you ‘high’.

Unlike its sister compound T HC, the C BD won’t get you high at all, but it will still make you feel good! There’s still a misconception that C BD is going to get you stoned or cause psychosis, and there’s a stigma against medical marijuana, particularly in certain communities and generations. And so, it’s future lies in education, people need to understand that it’s legal. At least some of it’s legal! Cannabis is illegal in the UK for recreational use, but was made legal for medicinal use in 2018.

FACIAL REFLEXOLOGY THIS TREATMENT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT PLEASE CALL TO INQUIRE 02380 639747

Facial Reflexology works by using gentle facial massage techniques for precise stimulation of reflex points, nerve points and zones on the face and scalp.  As with hand or foot reflexology, there are points on the face that represent areas and systems within the body.

The aim is to help reduce symptoms and effects of many common ailments but also to provide total relaxation, thus encouraging the body and mind to start to heal. The face has a high density of reflex points which are very sensitive to signals sent by the organs and other areas of the body and their response to stimulation is quickly transmitted to the part of the body concerned. The proximity of the face to the brain and cranial nerves is what makes this therapy so effective.

Some of the benefits of Facial Reflexology are:
