Gua sha is a technique used in traditional Chinese medicine.  It is often used to treat muscle pain and tension, but there has been limited research into how well it works. We find out more about whether gua sha is effective or if it has any side effects. Using Gua Sha aims to move energy, known as qi or chi, around the body. The treatment involves a tool to rub the skin in long strokes, applying enough pressure to create minor bruising. Gua Sha may help to break down scar tissue and connective tissue, improving movement in the joints. The treatment does not have any serious side effects but is not suitable for those with certain medical conditions.
