Andrew is now offering a specialty massage called Coining.
With Coining, also known as Gua Sha or Scraping, the therapist uses a tool with a blunt edge to apply short, firm and repeated strokes along the length of the tissues needing treatment.
Coining is known to reduce pain, muscle stiffness & inflammation, increase mobility, stimulate the immune system, stretch muscle & fascia, promote healthy circulation of muscles and organs, and increase micro-perfusion of surface tissues.
Like Cupping, Coining often leaves a temporary, reddish discoloration of the skin that may last 3-10 days after treatment. Though this may resemble bruising, it is not. There is no damage to the tissues. Clients are encouraged to hydrate well before and after treatment, and to keep discolored skin out of direct sunlight until the color fades.
Cost: $90 (60 minutes) and $120 (90 minutes)
