Maxdot 5 Pieces Gua Sha Massage Tools Set, Scraping Massage Tools Guasha Stone for Face Back Neck Physical Therapy

These are real horn,as far as I can tell(looks and smells like horn when sanded).....they work very well when "sharpened" a bit (made thinner on edges) with a rotating or belt sanding tool. As they came,they were very smooth and rounded,thicker edges-perhaps some may like that,but it is not very effective for actual gua sha,where one wishes to actually cause a lot of redness on the skin......if one just wishes to cause no pain or deeper healing ,and just a pleasant sensation,these are fine as they come. But recommended to make the edges thinner for actual healing work, with a sander,and one can adjust the thickness to one's preference easily with a sander.. Fast shipping.

I had a fall 6 years ago. Saw every Dr. possible, MRI's X rays, etc. They didn't find anything. My problem area is between my right shoulder/scapula and thoracic spine. I searched like crazy on YouTube (and as I said Dr.s of every kind) and found that NO Dr.s deal with fascial scarring, which is the most likely culprit of chronic pain after an injury. It gives me daily headaches and limited range of motion. By accident, I stumbled upon the answer. My physical therapist broke his hand, and couldn't massage or "work" this area for me. So he pulled out his Graston tools, another name for this product. (Graston is stainless steel and much more expensive for the same results, approx. $2,000 and classes/certifications for therapists). He scraped the area, first light and slow, so he could detect the problem areas. Then, he went harder and harder. After I left, I was 100% pain free for a month and a half! Yes, it did come back. But at that point, I would have given all my money, for someone to relieve the daily pain. Now I go once a week to therapy, and this is all we do. I have the problem well under control now, and, after watching some YouTube videos of professionals doing this, you can have a family member do it for you. Disclaimer: It can be dangerous if someone does not know what they are doing. But I have heard that folks with Carpel Tunnel, etc. can work on themselves. I should also note, that the area used with these tools, if done properly, should break capillaries (leaving blotches of red dots) and leave much redness that goes away in a day or two. The broken capillaries/botches are the spots that need the most work. Other than physical therapists and some Chiropractors, there are no such Dr.s who deal with muscle and Fascial pain! I've tried multiple Dr.s of -Family practice/Orthopedic/Neurologists/Chiropractors, etc. All of them were clueless. All of them wanted to run up my bill with unnecessary MRI's, X rays, EMG's, etc. This product DOES work, make sure you get the lotion, cannot use these tools without a generous supply of medicated lotions. I suggest something with menthol and Cannabinoid oils.

These seem to be a good product for the price. All the edges are smooth. It is my first time buying this type of item. They seem to be made of sturdy resin/plastic. The variety of shapes make it easy to get the right profile for the particular area you are working on.

I used this product for myself and I used it on one of my clients to deal with some lingering pain, I just worked the point of reference and the surrounding areas with the tools and she was amazed that all the pain left. You must consider learning about these tools to see if you can do some self care at home with this set. The one thing I would have like to have had was instructions and pictures that give more insight as the use of these tools. No instructions present at all. Just the tools in the box. Quality of the tool - is good!

A start up set. Inexpensive way to try the technique but if you want quality, buy the jade set.

These are used to do hand exercises for my hand after an injury and my physical therapist showed me how to use Gua Sha Massage Tools to scrape my hand tissue to promote healing. They're easy to use and very durable. I also like the box it comes in to keep my Gua Sha Tools Set together. Highly recommend this set if you're looking for a good Gua Sha set. Also, easy to wash and keep clean.

I ❤️ these! They are just the right size and shapes to get to difficult places ( crease of neck). They make the work of Gua Sha easier. I like them alot!

The tools work great! I incorporate them in many of my massage treatments as a professional massage therapist. I heat them up in a hot stone warmer and my clients love it. The only issue I have with it is that there are some edges that aren’t usable because they arrived chipped.
