Gua Sha Therapy

Targeted Bodywork for Tension, Circulation, and Muscle Release

Gua Sha is a therapeutic technique that uses a smooth tool to apply controlled strokes to areas of tension, restriction, or discomfort. This approach may help support circulation, ease tightness, and encourage the body to release areas that feel stuck or overworked.



At Apex Retreat, Gua Sha is used as part of a holistic bodywork approach for clients seeking targeted support for muscle tension, stiffness, and restricted movement.

What to Expect After Your Session

After a Gua Sha session, you may feel looser, more open, and more relaxed in the treated areas. Some clients notice improved movement, reduced tightness, or a greater sense of release after their appointment.

Gua Sha may leave temporary redness or marks on the skin. These are common and usually fade over time. Your therapist will adjust the session based on your comfort level and explain what to expect.

Phyllip M.

Jason was very knowledgeable and professional. The massage was amazing! Jason was very open about what I could do differently in my daily routine to get my body back to normal. Jason also informed me on what muscles I need to work on in the gym. He explained how some of my other muscles were overworking themselves to compensate for those weaker muscles. Thank you Jason! 5 star experience! I'll definitely be back.

I’ve been going to Fernanda at Apex Retreat for 15 years and she never disappoints me. I love that she Taylor’s my appointments to my needs. She truly cares about me as an individual and it’s obvious she has a passion for her work. I also love that she gives me “homework” AKA Stretches between visits so that I can feel my best. Her professionalism, passion for her work, reliability and ambience, are all five stars. I highly recommend All of the therapists at Apex Retreat.

My massage therapist, Gail, was phenomenal. She used different methods to easy muscle tension and joint pain and the result was amazing, I feel renewed. Perfect pressure, loved the eucalyptus smell during the massage and the scrub she used on my back and feet after my massage; best 90 mins massage of my life. Highly recommend her.
