Gua Sha for Employment Certification
Ancient Technique. Modern Results.
Gua Sha is an ancient healing technique that uses smooth-edged tools to release stagnation, improve circulation, and relieve muscular tension. In this certification course designed for licensed massage therapists, you’ll learn how to apply this powerful method safely, ethically, and effectively—whether you’re addressing chronic pain, inflammation, or fascia restrictions.
Smooth tools. Strong results. Less effort, more impact.
This course offers licensed massage therapists comprehensive training in Gua Sha, a traditional East Asian modality involving instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization. Students will explore both the historical roots and modern applications of Gua Sha, learning techniques to reduce muscular tension, improve circulation, release fascial restrictions, and support natural detoxification.
The course covers proper tool use, body mechanics, safety protocols, and integration strategies for clinical or wellness-based settings. Practical demonstrations and guided assignments will prepare therapists to confidently incorporate Gua Sha into their professional treatments.
