Gua Sha and cupping are sometimes confused, but the techniques are quite different.
Gua Sha involves using a smooth-edged tool across the skin with controlled pressure. Cupping uses suction to lift the skin and underlying tissues. At AcuWorks, the techniques used during treatment depend on your individual circumstances and the our assessment. Ask questions if you'd like to understand which option may be appropriate for you!
