Post Treatment and Client Considerations
It is important to have clear communication with your patient before, during and after treatment.
The effects of gua sha could be traumatizing to patients, so they need to clearly understand before the session that the results of gua sha will appear similar to bruising. Make sure you tell your patients that you can stop at any time, and continue checking in during the session. Palpate the area after treatment, and gently massage the area to check for changes and tenderness as well as to assist in circulation.
It is advised to show the patient the results of their Gua sha treatment so that they are not frightened by the reddening of their tissues. Patients can also have an emotional reaction to the healing process, so try to hold a compassionate space for them.
