From my website:
Many people are familiar with the Chinese name, Gua Sha, but scraping is commonly done throughout southeast Asia. Among other benefits, it helps release tension in the fascial layer. A smooth tool is used to gently but repetitively scrape against the surface of the skin. Like cupping, this tends to leave marks. The additional benefits and the explanation of the marks are best done in a longer post of their own.
