Gua Sha can be a great addition to physical therapy treatments for bicep tendonitis, rotator cuff tendonitis, golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow, DeQuervain’s, Achilles tendonitis, hamstring strain/tendonitis, iliotibial band (IT band) tendonitis, patellar/knee tendonitis, posterior tibialis tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and back pain.
