This mini course is your introduction to the way I teach and apply scraping. Whether you call it Gua Sha or IASTM, this technique is far more than simply rubbing a tool across the skin. When applied correctly, it can dramatically improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore movement quality. In this course, you’ll learn: The foundational principles behind scraping Why I use this treatment the way I do The difference between traditional and modern applications What’s actually happening neurologically and mechanically How to begin applying it safely to yourself and others This is not the full certification-level training. It’s the starting point. By the end of this mini course, you’ll understand the “why” behind the technique and have the confidence to begin practicing the basics — either for personal recovery or as a movement professional expanding your toolbox. The full comprehensive course launches in April. This introduction prepares you for it.
