Mead Acupuncture
Therapy
At Mead Acupuncture Therapy, we believe in the profound ability of the body to heal when given the right support. Nestled in the woods of St. Francisville, LA, our clinic offers a serene environment where ancient Chinese medicine meets modern academic expertise. Among our holistic offerings, gua sha therapy stands out as a powerful treatment designed to release tension, improve circulation, and restore balance.
What is Gua Sha Therapy?
Gua sha is a traditional healing technique that involves gently scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to stimulate blood flow and promote the body’s natural healing response. At Mead Acupuncture Therapy, we provide gua sha massage services that are both therapeutic and deeply relaxing.
​
This practice helps reduce inflammation, ease muscle stiffness, and encourage the release of toxins, making it an effective option for pain management and overall wellness.
Why Choose Professional Gua Sha Massage
While gua sha may appear simple, its effectiveness depends on the skill and knowledge of the practitioner. Our licensed acupuncturist, Keith Mead, L. Ac., Dipl. Ac. (NCCAOM), combines years of academic training with a holistic philosophy to ensure each session is safe, precise, and tailored to your needs.
​
We treat the person, not just the symptoms, and integrate gua sha into a broader wellness plan that may include acupuncture, cupping, or other complementary therapies. By choosing professional gua sha massage services at Mead Acupuncture Therapy, you benefit from:
​
-
A scientifically informed approach rooted in Chinese medicine.
-
A serene, natural setting that enhances relaxation and healing.
-
Personalized care designed to address both physical and emotional well-being.
The Benefits of Gua Sha Therapy
Patients often seek gua sha for relief from chronic pain, tension headaches, neck and shoulder stiffness, and stress-related conditions. Beyond physical benefits, many experience a sense of emotional release and improved energy flow. The therapy works by encouraging microcirculation and stimulating the immune system, helping the body reset and recover naturally.
