✨PRACTICE TOOLS

Bamboo Hitter

In its primary form, Hitting uses a bundle of bamboo rods to strike specific lines along the body and limbs. The rhythmic tapping generates vibrations that help open the bone pores, allowing accumulated energy to penetrate into the marrow. These vibrations also help shake toxins out of the fascia, muscles, and internal organs, break down uric acid deposits, and release deep tension from the body.

Buffalo Horn Gua Sha

Used to go Deeply into Whole Body Muscle Tendon Lines and to release Tendons caught between Bones. For Relief of Joint Aches and Shoulder, Arm and Leg Imbalances in all the Body Lines.
