Achy shoulder pain, especially when you lift your arm?
Often the culprit is your supraspinatus—one of your rotator cuff muscles—completely checked out. When it stops activating, the surrounding muscles work overtime and start to ache.

In the clinic, we go straight into that muscle to wake it back up so it can actually do its job again. For at-home relief, try this acupressure point: about one inch below the knuckles on your pinky. Pressing here helps boost blood flow and gives you some immediate relief.

Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese healing technique where you scrape the skin to release tension and boost circulation. You apply oil, then use a smooth tool to scrape in one direction with medium pressure.

The red mark that appears? It’s called SHA- stagnant blood a metabolic waste rising to the surface so your body can flush it out. Fresh blood rushes in, inflammation drops, and chronic pain finally releases.

The best part? You can do it yourself at home. You don’t need fancy tools. A Chinese soup spoon, regular spoon, jar lid, jade tool- literally anything smooth works. Your muscles don’t care about aesthetics. They just want relief.
