If you read my post about my Table Melter style of treatment, here’s one of the ways I accomplish it:
They’re basalt lava rocks gently heating in my weird James Bond-esque briefcase are absolutely amazing for turning your tired, sore, and tight muscles into utter and complete goo.
While empirical research is very limited on the efficacy of hot stone massage therapy treatments, it is widely believed that the application of therapeutic hot stones during a registered massage therapy treatment is beneficial for tissue relaxation and pliability, blood circulation, and down-regulation of the sympathetic nervous system.

Either way, from my own practice, I have yet to have a client stand up from the table and proclaim That was terrible! after a treatment with hot stones.
And with Old Man Winter making his way up the driveway, it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to manage your back pain after all the shoveling; or God forbid, a fall on the ice… (See, I planned this for December, but since we’re all freezing our turkey giblets off here, now’s the time!)
