Small Body Contours 

Tools for treating the face, wrist, forearm, elbow, ankle and foot include the GOST-1, Gua Sha Professional-1 and Gua Sha Professional-2. 


The GOST-1 is an edged soft tissue tool designed specifically for the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, neck, jaw and face. The symmetrically beveled treatment edge runs the entire perimeter of the tool.  The perfect soft tissue tool for small body contours found on the foot and ankle including the Achilles tendon. Mobilize dense painful scar that prevents bearing weight on the palm following carpal tunnel release. Shapes perfectly match the contours of the lateral and medial elbow. Target trigger points affecting the shoulder and back. Lightweight, unbreakable and fits in a pocket - the perfect soft tissue tool for travel. A favorite of hand therapists and their clients.

The GP-1 is a purpose built instrument designed for the Achille's tendon and digits.


The GP-2 shapes match contours of the palm, forearm muscles, medial and lateral elbow, neck, ankle, foot, and more. Shaped perfectly for mobilization of scar and soft tissues affected by chronic tennis and golfer's elbow. Quickly eliminate lingering pain that prevents weightbearing on the palm following carpal tunnel release. 


Medium Body Contours

Tools for treating the shoulder, upper trapezius, biceps, triceps and calves include the GOST-2 and Gua Sha Professional-3.

The GOST-2 is designed specifically for the shoulder, chest, upper arm, and calves. It also works well on small to medium quadriceps and hamstrings. The symmetrically beveled treatment edge runs the entire perimeter of the tool providing a wide range of shapes for many muscular and soft tissue body contours. Ideal for traditional gua sha applied to the back and spine, the IT Band, and more. A favorite of throwing athletes and the clinicians who treat them.

Use the GP-3 for the upper trapezius, biceps, triceps, calves and more. The ergonomic handle minimizes stress on the user's thumb CMC joint by avoiding lateral pinch. Pressure is dispersed into the palm while fingertips rest directly on the treatment blade to enhance palpation.


Large Body Contours

Tools for treating the back, legs, and chest include the GOST-2 and Gua Sha Professional-4. 

The GOST-2 provides an edge large enough for small to medium quadriceps and hamstrings. The symmetrically beveled treatment edge runs the entire perimeter of the tool providing a wide range of shapes for many muscular and soft tissue body contours.

The GP-4 treats muscles of the shoulder, back and more. Mobilize fascia and tight pectoralis muscles. Eliminate trigger points of the triceps, biceps, quadriceps, hamstrings, rhomboids, levator, and other periscapular muscles. Raise petechiae along the spine for a traditional gua sha treatment.

 

Largest Body Contours

Treat the glutes, hamstrings and quadriceps with the GOST-3.

The GOST-3 is designed for the largest muscles groups. The symmetrically beveled treatment edge is more rounded in comparison to our other tools.  Lean into stubborn trigger points and apply firm pressure with greater comfort to reach deeply into large muscle groups. Ideal for treating the glutes, piriformis, hamstrings, quadriceps, IT band and mobilizing fascia superficial to the hip flexors.

Use the GOST-3 to provide a unique massage experience or unlock the potential of gua sha by using firmer pressure.

 

Traditional Gua Sha of the Back/Spine


The GOST-2's edge and larger size provides a great tool for raising petechiae on the back and periscapular muscles.

The GP-4 easily raises petechiae along the spine and over periscapular muscles for a traditional gua sha treatment.


Trigger Points

All tools are capable of treating localized trigger points. 


Manual Edema Mobilization

The larger edge found on the GOST-2 is effective for manual edema mobilization.

The GP-4's large edge also works well for manual edema mobilization.

The GOST-3's large and rounded edge provides a comfortable instrument for manual edema mobilization of the lower extremity. 


Scar Mobilization

All tools are capable of mobilizing mature (not red, raised or hypersensitive) scar tissue. Select a tool for small, medium or large body contours from the list above.


Joint Protection

Improve control, apply firm pressure and decrease strain on the hand with any of the Gua Sha Professional Tools. A great choice for Individuals with hypermobile joints or arthritic changes affecting the hand. Even if you don't have the strongest hands the handle allows application of firm pressure when you need it. The handle provides greater comfort and improved control of the tool while minimizing stress on the user's thumb CMC joint and small joints of the digits.

Treatment Edge

The edge radius is not overly rounded. This provides greater sensitivity regarding tissue texture and minimizes the amount of pressure required to raise petechiae. The treatment edge is symmetrically beveled. This improves efficiency by allowing the tool to be held in either hand. The symmetrical edge also allows the user to make a distal stroke followed by a proximal stroke without reorienting the tool or changing hands.
