Gua Sha
Gua Sha is one of the more distinctive techniques in Traditional Chinese Medicine — and one of the most effective for releasing deep-seated tension and stimulating the body's natural healing response. At Satori Clinic in Macroom, Co. Cork, Gregg Hartnett uses Gua Sha as part of a broader treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
The technique involves using a smooth-edged instrument to apply firm, repeated strokes across the skin over an area of injury, tension, or imbalance. This breaks up stagnation beneath the surface, increases circulation, and disperses heat and inflammation. When the treatment is working well, the skin develops a temporary redness or flushing — known as 'sha' — which typically fades within two to three days.
Despite its appearance, this is not bruising. It is a sign that stagnant blood and metabolic waste are being cleared from the tissues, making way for fresh circulation and healing. Many patients experience immediate relief from pain and stiffness following a session.
Gua Sha is used to treat a wide range of acute and chronic conditions including neck and shoulder pain, headaches, fever, colds and flu, digestive issues, joint pain, and fibromyalgia. It is often used alongside acupuncture or cupping for a more comprehensive result.

I remember arriving in my first appointment and the pain was so strong that I hardly could explain to him what was happening to me. After the first session was done, I already could feel the pain relief almost immediately. After that, we just needed one more session and it was like all the pain had magically disappeared and I could move, sit and exercise perfectly again without any discomfort.
I took the decision to search for a Natural alterative and I came across Gregg’s Clinic. I decided to go for my first session and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! I felt a good release from it after the first session, so I decided to keep my treatments going until I was completely fine to start back with my daily routine. I honestly I cannot ask for more, it help me so much that I decided to keep regular sessions to maintain my health.
Greg has helped me over a long time for many reasons. Most recently, I went to him for postpartum care which certainly helped my recovery, and indeed during pregnancy to aid the onset of labour! Over a number of years, I learned from him about foods that benefit my personal constitution, nothing radical, just easy changes that have helped elevate my overall health.
I highly recommend going to Greg for any or all ailments to support your wellbeing!
