Gua Sha

Gua sha is an ancient body treatment in which the surface of the skin is scraped (but not broken) using a smooth hand-held tool. Gua sha releases blockages in the body that may be the cause of painful conditions. It is not only effective, but it also feels great! Contact Red Bird Acupuncture to see how gua sha treatments can benefit your health and well-being.

Cupping

Plastic suction cups are placed on the body to treat painful areas. Patients often report feeling relief from tight, stiff, aching muscles and an increased range of motion after a cupping session. Discover how a simple, noninvasive technique can help you feel better fast.
