THE BEST SCRAPING TOOL AVAILABLE, LOOK NO FURTHER

Karen Stewart PT on Jan 03, 2018 on Feb 13, 2018

I've been using this tool for the better part of 6 years, and by FAR it is the most superiorly designed soft tissue scraping tool that I've seen in 30. It's beveled edges are comfortable for the patient, yet is able to detect the connective tissue irregularities more precisely when working on an extremity. It's performance far exceeds the other tools (we all know what/who they are), and is my "go to" in any soft tissue work I need to do. I'm about to order my third GOST-1 (I have GOST 2 also) because of the nature of my work, some lucky clinic(s) has the other two I left there!

 

MOST USED TOOLS WE HAVE

Geoff Gamble on Mar 09, 2023  (2 Tool Set)We own 5 sets of these tools and they are by far the most used tool we have at the clinic. They fit perfectly in the hand and are comfortable and effective for patients. Thanks for creating quality, affordable soft tissue therapy tool.

 

BEST TOOLS

Angela on Sep 01, 2022

I had been using these tools for years! Amazing and they have a different angle on each side for a different part of the body. My only complaint is that the material the older tools were made out of was better. It seemed to glide better and was heavier quality. The newer material also works good, but i prefer the older green model material. However, im still a loyal customer and I have sent MANY the link to this site!! Thanks for making guasha tools that work well, especially for athletes. There is NO WAY I would be able to survive Ironman and marathon training without these babies!

 

THANK YOU!!!

Jacob Swonger, DC on Oct 25, 2017

I love these tools. I am so impressed with the fast and consistent results I get with shoulder problems now that I am adding IASTM along with my chiropractic adjustments. It is no less than life changing for my patients. Thank you Matt!

 

VERSATILE AND EFFECTIVE

Susan on Feb 20, 2017  (Pro Set)

I learned Gua Sha in 2011 and am still using these two tools. I am now ordering extras for my friends who do massage therapy, I want them to do my back. I am an occupational therapist working in Hand Therapy and I use my tools daily. No other brand has the right edge for our work. My compliments on an exquisite design.

 

DIRECTOR OF SPORTS MEDICINE

Ryan Callahan on Apr 20, 2018  (Pro Set)

I have utilized these GSO products at multiple institutions since 2011. My staff uses these tools to administer 15-20 treatments on a day in collegiate sports medicine facility. There is nothing out there that will get the same results. They provide excellent feedback to the clinician regarding tissue quality and the edges/contours provide superior mobilization of the tissue during treatment. Also, they are cost effective compared to multitude of other products on the market. Try these products and you will never go back to the others.

 

MY FAVORITE GUASHA TOOLS OF ALL TIME

Thomas Gerlach Professional Triathlete on Feb 01, 2017  (3 tools & manual)

This set of GuaSha tools is my all time favorite. I had a particular PT that used this set and when I moved I had to track down the same set. Surprisingly it wasn't easy for me to find them, but once I did, I was back in GuaSha heaven. Great shapes and very durable. Great for the practitioner or individual. I highly recommend this set.

 

Sarah Chute RMT on Apr 11, 2022  (GUA SHA ORTHOPEDIC AND PROFESSIONAL TOOLS)

These tools are very effective for performing gua sha. The edges are thin and allow the release of sha quickly and efficiently. As a Registered Massage Therapist I am always working within a time frame and these tools help me release as much sha as a I can per treatment . They are light in hand compared to other more traditional tools and therefor less fatiguing for my hands. This is important as I see several clients a day therefor this is an asset for my self care. They do not break when you drop them like ceramic soup spoons do which allows the therapist to never be without a tool. They stand up to high level disinfection as required for all IASTM tools. I use these tools for myself as well and I couldn’t imagine my life without them. I also love the gua sha book which has some really great information from a soft tissue perspective as opposed to the more traditional perspective. This is very helpful for therapists like myself who have to practise gua sha within the scope of my practise. The gua sha world is very lucky to have Matt in it.

 

EXTENDED MY MASSAGE CAREER BY 10+ YEARS

Julie Turner on Apr 03, 2022

I bought this set on tools around 2008 and used them very productively on my clients enhancing their treatment sessions and saving my hands. I have finally stopped massaging after a 20 year career as my spiritual work is now my focus.

Without finding these tools my hands would have ceased up many years ago with the deep tissue massage I offered.

I am now looking to re-home my kit which is still in perfect condition. I just searched the site to see if the company still supplied these great tools. Happily they are. I would certainly recommend purchasing the full set. They have more than paid for themselves with the additional ten years I was able to carry on massaging.

Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 

Dr. Doug Bonnesen on Mar 03, 2017  (Professional Tools)

I have been using the professional set for about 5 years now and I am extremely satisfied with their function. I am a physical therapist in my 26th year of practice in a private sports med clinic. The tools have a great handle on each of them so you don't end up pinching them to hold onto them securely. The big half arc tool is used on quads, hamstrings, calves, adductors, hip with excellent results. They are easy to clean the professional case keeps them all in one place. I have actually had several pts buy individual tools for their own use at home and they love them. Highly recommend this set for doing your instrument assisted soft tissue treatments.

 

ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR ANYONE ACTIVE

Benny “Plug-it In” Braden on Jun 18, 2019  (GOST-1)

I hike thousands of miles each year and as you can guess I deal with a lot of leg and foot issues. I’ve had Planters Fasciitis, Achilles Tendinitis, Shin Splints and more. My physical therapist over at Cora Physical Therapy introduced this tool to me. This is the same tool they use to do Astym Therapy on me and they encouraged me to get one of my own so I could self treat while I’m out on the trail. I absolutely love this tool and never leave home without it. Many of my friends took my recommendation and have this tool now.

 

AS A HAND THERAPIST, I LIKE THEM MORE THAN ASTYM

brandy on Feb 13, 2018

I am a hand therapist and have used ASTYM tools. ASTYM are quite expensive to use (keeping certification and renting the tools). I bought these tools and several other types. I love these and am buying more today. I have been using them for about a year. I do not miss my ASTYM. I get the same results and they are a great addition to my practice.

 

GOST-1: ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE FOR RUNNERS

Matt W. on Feb 13, 2018

As a daily runner, one of the small prices I pay is a tender Achilles, Even with proper stretching and running form. The Gost-1 has completely fixed both of my tender Achilles issues. I have tried everything from The Stick to trigger point therapy , but nothing has solved the problem more than the Gost. My runner's tool for life! Thank you for a great product!

Thanks, Matt!

 

PERFECT FOR SOFT TISSUE INJURIES

Mandy on Feb 13, 2018

After a severe ankle sprain my PT started using gua sha to break up scar tissue and improve healing. It worked so well that I learned how to do it myself. I used a spoon for a little while, but nothing compares to the GOST-1. The edges are perfect and the different corners make it easy to get into every nook and cranny. It's definitely worth the extra money.
