Gua Sha is a Chinese massage technique that involves scraping the skin with a smooth, flat tool to improve circulation, release tension, and promote healing. This technique is typically used on the back, neck, and shoulders, and can be effective in treating a range of conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, and respiratory problems.

Shiatsu is a Japanese massage therapy that involves the application of pressure to specific points on the body to promote healing and balance.
