How “Paw Sha” aka Gua Sha for dogs can relieve pain & increase mobility with Dr. Tori Counter
Description
Is your senior dog slowing down, hesitant to jump, or playing less? Pain might be the culprit. In this episode, fellow integrative vet Dr. Tori and I dive deep into Paw Sha, a pioneering technique she developed by adapting human Gua Sha for dogs. By gently gliding this special flat stone along your dog’s fur, you can smooth out their fascia, relieve pain, and enhance their mobility. Tune in to hear just how powerful combining Paw Sha with acupuncture or nano light acupuncture and laser can be–even as a preventative measure.
KEY INSIGHTS:

How nanolight acupuncture is perfect for pets who don’t like needles.
