Body Gua Sha
Gua sha is an ancient Chinese healing technique that involves using a smooth-edged massage tool to scrape skin using small blades, breaking blood capillaries near the surface of skin that are close enough to be felt through clothing, which causes temporary bruising or indentation that typically heals within days. Although safe, this therapy should be avoided on skin that is already damaged or irritated as this could aggravate it further. According to Minichiello this therapy should also not be applied directly onto injured spots on body parts where skin damage exists – Minichiello suggests this therapy should only be applied once.
Typically, the technician will apply oil to your body before using a gua sha tool to stroke over it with circular strokes that create petechiae, small red spots that appear as small red rash-like dots on your skin. While this technique can be used on any part of the body for pain relief purposes, research indicates it has particular benefit when applied to chronic neck tension and headaches.
Logman reports that most commonly used gua sha tools are made of stainless steel, as it’s durable and easy to sanitize and clean, although you may also purchase jade tools or black onyx tools designed to absorb negative energy like the Georgia Louise Lift + Sculpt Butterfly Stone ($65).
The WalkingPad
A walking pad is a portable, folding treadmill designed for working from home. You can get in some exercise while watching television or listening to audiobooks or podcasts while writing emails or answering phone calls – perfect if you need to take breaks between phone calls. Plus it can even be placed under a standing desk to create a treadmill workstation!
Rethaber believes it can take some trial-and-error to find the optimal way to use this device, so he suggests starting slowly before gradually increasing both speed and duration as you go along.
He emphasizes the importance of keeping in mind that using a walking pad shouldn’t replace your normal exercise regimen, but as an additional way of getting in more steps while doing something else it can be an ideal option. By 5 pm each evening he has taken approximately 15,000-25,000 steps without even leaving his apartment, an incredible achievement!
Light Therapy
Bright light therapy has long been recognized as an effective remedy for seasonal affective disorder (SAD), depression and sleep issues. It works by altering your circadian rhythm and serotonin uptake into your brain – something other treatments and healing techniques cannot do alone. Bright light therapy may even help relieve some types of anxiety as well!
Before beginning light therapy, it is wise to speak with a healthcare provider. Some individuals may have sensitive skin or eyes; certain health conditions (like Lupus) could make the use of sun lamps unsafe; too much exposure or too frequent usage could even trigger manic episodes in some individuals with bipolar disorder.
Red light therapy, known to increase collagen production and stimulate adenosine triphosphate production, can also assist with fracture and wound healing, and improve blood flow; providing effective relief from aches and pains.
