Incorporation of Hot Stone in treatments of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Incorporation of Hot Stone in treatments of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Lumbago, Lumbalgia, Sciatic Neuralgia, knee, elbow, ankle and shoulder disorders, rotator cuff syndrome and others is proven to be a very beneficial modality for rapid and sustained results. For centuries, it has been known that minerals, when accumulating heat, releasing very long waves of heat, and if applied to the human body, will stimulate significant healing process. As you know, any stones are minerals. On his file, Boris explains and demonstrates in details how to incorporate hot stone massage in the above mentioned treatments. The great news is that in any landscape store, for the maximum of spending about $5 you can purchase a huge set of stones of a variety of sizes (Boris on his DVD presents different sizes of stones and gives different recommendations). The stones can be heated in any hydrocollater or just if will be spilled boiling water on them, during 35-40 seconds they generate enough heat to be good hot mineral for a treatment.

To perform soft tissue mobilization by incorporating hot stone, not only contribute significantly to results but also makes the soft tissue mobilization procedure physically much easier to perform.

Instructions how to make the stones ready

Upon purchasing, wash the rocks with soap and dry them. When the stones are dry, spread baby oil all over the rocks, making sure to note a slight darkening in color when the rocks take up the oil.

Enjoy working with hot stones.
