In this course, I am going to teach you Traditional Gua Sha, as well as review the principles, tools and techniques associated with other 'scraping' techniques such as Graston and IASTM but we go further... We will talk about pain science, and gain an understanding of when these treatments are appropriate for treating different conditions.
