Myofascial gua sha requires more skill and training than conventional wei qi gua sha in order to safely and effectively treat the muscles, tendons, and aponeuroses of the jing-jin ("sinew meridians") or myofascial tracts, while avoiding destabilization of adjacent joints or trauma to nerves:
- Break up painful myofascial trigger points and relieve myalgia
- Stretch and loosen adhesions in muscles and connective tissue, which can relieve pain at sites distal to where the gua sha is applied
- Flush capillary beds and lymphatic ducts and increase local micro-circulation
- Stimulate tissue healing through release of growth factors
- Assist recovery of muscle strength and function
