Gua Sha helps release surface-level tension, improve circulation, and free up stuck fascia. It makes the tissue more pliable, less guarded, and more responsive.
Eccentric muscle contractions (think slow lowering, lengthening under control) help retrain the muscle to stay strong through its full range. This builds resilience, improves mobility, and reduces the chance of that same tightness coming right back.
When you put them together, you get a powerful reset:
• Gua Sha creates space
• Eccentric work teaches the muscle what to do with that new space
It’s one of my favorite ways to help clients move better, feel better, and actually keep their results longer.
