Plantar fasciitis can make every step sharp, stiff, and frustrating—especially when you first get out of bed or after sitting for a while. This condition causes inflammation and tightness in the thick band of tissue along the bottom of your foot, often extending tension into the calves and ankles.
Our specialized Gua Sha treatment uses gentle, hands-on scraping techniques on the feet, ankles, and calves to ease tension, reduce inflammation, and restore healthy movement. By stimulating circulation and breaking up tight adhesions, this natural therapy supports your body’s healing process.
With consistent sessions—usually once per week for at least four weeks—many clients notice significant improvements in pain, mobility, and comfort.
What is Gua Sha?
Gua Sha (pronounced “gwah‑shah”) is an ancient scraping therapy from traditional Chinese medicine . We use a smooth-edged tool to gently glide over your feet, ankles, and calves, working along the fascia and muscles to:
Increase blood flow and circulation.
Break up adhesions (tight, stuck tissue).
Reduce inflammation and swelling.
Support natural healing of the plantar fascia.
It’s safe, non-invasive, and tailored for the foot’s delicate tissues—always performed with care.
Why Gua Sha Works for Plantar Fasciitis
A clinical study directly compared Gua Sha to other manual techniques for plantar fasciitis—and found Gua Sha was significantly better at reducing pain in just one session. It effectively:
Targets inflammation with improved micro‑circulation.
Releases tight muscles and fascia in the calf-bottom line.
Delivers faster relief than traditional scraping or stretching methods.
