Eu Yan Sang TCM Clinic Singapore is having their Special Deal. Suffering From WFH Pains? Here’s How Gua Sha Can Relieve Your Neck & Shoulder Aches.
Neck and shoulder aches are amongst the most common types of pain seen by TCM physicians. But why?
The biggest culprit is bad posture, especially when you’re sitting down. A bad posture (e.g. hunching) can cause low blood flow in certain areas of your body, causing instability in your nerves. That’s when you’ll start feeling pain.
And if your work or mobile devices are not placed at an ideal height, it can result in your neck stiffening because you’re putting too much strain on those muscles. This can cause blockages in your meridians, resulting in the pains and aches that you’re experiencing.
What is Gua Sha, exactly?
Gua Sha, as its name suggests, involves using a scraping tool along the parts of your body where the meridians are. Doing this will produce red bruising or rash-like marks on your skin, which is perfectly normal and should subside after a week.
How can Gua Sha help with pain relief?
The scraping motion during Gua Sha treatment is said to relieve muscle tension and tightness, as well as release blockage in the meridians. According to TCM, this will allow “qi” to flow better and promote blood circulation, thus relieving you of neck and shoulder pain.
Research has shown that Gua Sha does help to reduce the severity of pain for patients who suffer from chronic neck or back pain. In one study, patients who were treated with just one session of Gua Sha reported less neck pain compared to patients who were treated with a local thermal heat pad.
