What is scraping?
Myofascial scraping, also known as muscle scraping or Gua Sha, is a therapeutic technique that uses a specialized tool to apply controlled pressure and scrape the skin and underlying fascia. This method is effective in breaking down scar tissue, releasing muscle knots, and promoting tissue regeneration. At Revival Recovery & Rehabilitation, we utilize myofascial scraping to enhance healing, reduce pain, and improve mobility in our clients.
The scraping action creates a mild, controlled microtrauma to the skin and underlying tissue, which in turn stimulates the body's natural healing response. The technique is designed to improve circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and break down scar tissue and adhesions in the fascia and muscles. By restoring normal movement and function to the affected areas, myofascial scraping can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall physical performance. At Revival Recovery & Rehabilitation, our skilled practitioners use this technique as part of a comprehensive approach to physical therapy, tailored to the specific needs and goals of each client.
