Gua Sha Therapy in Greenville, SC
Gua Sha Therapy at IHP Greenville — authentic TCM, in-house herbal pharmacy. Dr. Hendry, DAOM, 25+ yrs experience. Call (864) 365-6156.
Gua sha therapy at Integrative Health Partners is applied as a precision clinical technique for musculoskeletal stagnation, inflammatory conditions, and immune stimulation — integrated within a comprehensive treatment session that includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, or both. Dr. Hendry's application of gua sha draws on both classical Chinese medicine indications and modern research on gua sha's anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
How Gua Sha Therapy Works
Gua sha is applied using firm, unidirectional strokes along the affected muscle belly or meridian pathway. Pressure is calibrated to the patient's tissue tension and sensitivity. Dr. Hendry typically applies gua sha to the back, neck, or extremities as indicated by your pattern of stagnation and pain distribution.
Conditions Treated with Gua Sha Therapy
Your First Appointment
Gua sha is added to a standard acupuncture session — it does not require a separate appointment. Let Dr. Hendry know if you have any skin sensitivity or conditions at potential treatment sites.
Why Dr. Hendry for Gua Sha Therapy
Dr. Hendry's extensive training in TCM physical techniques — including gua sha, cupping, and moxibustion — is integrated into clinical practice as purposeful therapeutic additions, not add-on extras.
