Graston & Gua Sha Therapy

WELLNESS
RECOVERY
Graston and Gua Sha are soft-tissue techniques used to address muscle tightness, stiffness, fascial restrictions, and movement limitations.
At Nee’s Physical Therapy, these tools are used with clinical intention, not as a standalone quick fix.
At Nee’s Physical Therapy, we use Graston and Gua Sha as part of our soft-tissue work. These treatments are usually not the whole session. They are tools we use when your body needs more targeted support, alongside manual therapy, movement, mobility work, and exercise. A typical session runs 30–60 minutes, one-on-one with Akanksha, and may be paired with cupping, recovery boots, or hands-on care depending on what you need.

-
Assessment
We first identify where the restriction is coming from. Tightness in one area is often connected to how another area is moving, loading, or compensating.
-
Soft-Tissue Treatment
Graston or Gua Sha tools are used with controlled pressure over targeted areas. You may feel firm pressure, warmth, or mild sensitivity, but treatment should not feel aggressive or overwhelming.
-
Movement Integration
After the soft-tissue work, we add movement, stretching, or targeted exercise to help your body use the new mobility. This helps the session support longer-lasting movement changes.

About the Marks
Graston and Gua Sha may leave temporary redness or light marks on the skin. These are common responses to soft-tissue work and usually fade within a few days. The goal is not to create marks. The goal is to improve how the tissue feels, moves, and responds to movement.
If you have an upcoming event or do not want visible marks, let us know before treatment so we can adjust the technique and pressure.
