In my opinion these products do nothing to help your back other then relax the muscles, which can be hard to do with them.

1)Prevent lower back pain with hamstring stretches. For example put on foot on the counter, keep your legs straight and touch your toes. Do this in the morning and evening and for 10 min each time.

2)You can try an inversion table to relieve all back stress and pain.

3) relieve pain with a electric stimulator. This stresses the muscles then fatigues them so they don’t spasm anymore.

4) go to a chiropractor if it is really bad, it probably costs the same as a spa, they will figure out what is wrong, and try and fix the problem.

Yeh as long as its not dogshit on your feet, maybe wear shos from now on.. Its bad for your feet anyway

Hello Dear!

I went to a chiropractor and had an “adjustment” It actually made the pain worse and to top it off they expect you to keep coming back to “re-align” you. Get a massage! It always makes you feel better and it feels good! I also take Soma muscle relaxants when i get the occasional flare up and the Soma works miracles! Soma is a muscle relaxant used to relieve the pain and stiffness of muscle spasms and discomfort due to strain and sprain. Get more excellent info about soma at Watson-Soma.us, http://Watson-Soma.us/

Hope you Feel better Dear!

Hot Stone Massage – Top 9 Things You Need To Know

One of the fastest rising styles of massage is the hot stone massage. If it’s your first time to hear about it, you may be wondering what it’s all about. It may be hard to imagine how hot stones can be used in a massage. Here are some other things you should know but may not know about hot stone massage.

1. What is a hot stone massage?

Hot stone massage is a variation of the classic massage therapy in which water treated and heated stones mostly basalt stones are placed in key points of the body called energy centers to prepare the body for deep tissue manipulation and promote relaxation.

2. Why are basalt stones used?

Basalt stones which are black volcanic rocks rich in iron have innate ability to absorb and retain heat that can be used to relieve stress and tension in muscles and enhance circulation.

3. What are the benefits of getting a hot stone massage?

The positive effects of a hot stone massage are countless. On the physical aspect of the body, it does wonders in muscle and deep tissue relaxation, relieves tension, stress and pain such as back aches and muscular pain, improves circulation, and releases harmful toxins. Mental benefits on the other hand include calming of the psyche, giving peace of mind, reducing anxiety and depression. It is also used to treat some medical conditions like Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Insomnia and some circulatory problems.

4. Who invented hot stone massage?

Mary Hannigan, from Tucson, Arizona invented the hot stone massage in 1993. She calls her style the LaStone Therapy. It wasn’t long before this massage style proliferated. Now many massage and spa centers offer their own version of the hot stone therapy.

5. How long is a massage stone session?

A session of this type of massage usually takes 60 to 90 minutes long.

6. Who cannot take a hot stone massage?

Most people are free to get their hot stone massage. However, those who have infectious skin disease, rash, open wounds and those who are prone to blood clots are not allowed to have a hot stone massage. Those who just came out of surgery, chemotherapy or radiation are also advised to stay away from getting massages. Meanwhile, if you have a heart disease or if you’re pregnant, it’s very important to get your doctor’s approval before indulging in a massage. For pregnant women, it is a better idea to get a pregnancy massage from a certified massage therapist.

7.Is it compulsory to tip the massage therapist?

Tips are a nice way of saying that you like the massage that you got. In hotels or spas, a customary 15% to 20% tip will be appreciated by the massage therapist. However, if you are in a medical setting like a hospital or clinic, tipping is not the norm. If in doubt, don’t be afraid to ask. Aside from tipping, you can also show appreciation by recommending the massage therapist or the spa center to family and friends.

8. Does a hot stone massage require nudity?

Most hot stone massage clients are given massage while nude but if you’re not comfortable, you can always stay in your underwear.

9. How much does a hot stone massage cost?

Typically more expensive than Swedish massage, a session of hot stone massages ranges from $50 to $190.

There are plenty of information available about hot stone massage but nothing beats going through it yourself. The best way to get to know this massage is to try it and experience the relaxation and pleasure that no other massage can give.

North Burnaby Massage Therapy

Massage has many benefits that affect both our bodies and our minds. Almost everyone can safely receive Massage Therapy. Amongst its many other benefits, massage increases body awareness so that any issues can be addressed before they get more serious in nature. At Burnaby Massage Clinic we provide safe, effective and professional treatment that provides the following.

Basic physical benefits of massage

• Improves circulation
• Helps relieve muscle tension and stiffness
• Promotes faster healing of strained muscles and sprained ligaments; reduces pain and swelling and reduces formation of excessive scar tissue
• Reduces muscle spasms
• Provides greater joint flexibility and range of motion
• Enhances athletic performance
• Promotes deeper and easier breathing
• Improves circulation and movement of lymph fluids
• Reduces blood pressure
• Helps relieve tension-related headaches and effects of eye-strain
• Enhances the health and nourishment of skin
• Improves posture
• Strengthens the immune system
• Psychological benefits from Massage therapy.

Massage as a healing tool has been around for thousands of years in many cultures. Touching is a natural human reaction to pain and stress, and for conveying compassion and support. Think of the last time you bumped your head or had a sore calf. What did you do? Rubbed it, right? The same was true of our earliest ancestors. Healers throughout time and throughout the world have instinctually and independently developed a wide range of therapeutic techniques using touch. Many are still in use today, and with good reason. We now have scientific proof of the benefits of massage – benefits ranging from treating chronic diseases and injuries to alleviating the growing tensions of our modern lifestyles. Having a massage does more than just relax your body and mind – there are specific physiological and psychological changes which occur, even more so when massage is utilized as a preventative, frequent therapy and not simply mere luxury. Massage not only feels good, but it can cure what ails you.

One of the many reasons people come to me is for the relief of pain caused by arthritis. I tell them that there is nothing that I can do for the arthritis itself, nor can I make it go away. However, what I can do is to help the muscles nearby to relax and thereby reduce some of the pain.

What I cannot do is to change the arthritic joint, especially when it is affected by rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis can sometimes be helped by North Burnaby Massage Therapy: the increased circulation to the joint helps it to heal itself a little and to make the arthritis itself back down somewhat. I use it on my own finger joints when they start to act up and get stiff. I perform some frictions and other firm techniques along the joint line and so far, it has worked remarkably well to keep my hands mobile and functioning. When you consider the attrition rate for massage therapists at the ten year mark is somewhere around 70% and I have been doing this for 10 and a half years, then you can see how effective massage can be for maintaining joint function.

As a society, we are touch deprived and this can lead to disease or emotional dysfunction. From the cradle to the nursing home, tactile stimulation and the emotional assurance of caring touch bring about a sense of well-being and security. In numerous studies conducted on massage for infants, TRI researchers have found improved weight gain and development in pre-term infants, improved weight gain and motor behavior in cocaine-exposed infants, and improved weight gain and decreased stress behavior in HIV-exposed infants. Full-term infants also benefit with increased alertness and social behavior, less crying and increased weight gain.

Osteoarthritis is caused by general wear and tear on the joints, especially on the hyaline cartilage which coats the end of each bone and prevents bone to bone contact (if I remember my schooling correctly). When the cartilage wears down, the bones lose their buffer and begin to rub together, causing pain and inflammation as the body reacts to the new stresses. The surrounding muscles may become tight and tense to act as a splint, helping the joint to function. Splinting can be a helpful thing, but there are times when muscles become too enthusiastic and the tightness becomes stiffness and an inability to move easily. This is where massage therapy can help.

Massage is a perfect elixir for good health, but it can also provide an integration of body and mind. By producing a meditative state or heightened awareness of living in the present moment, massage can provide emotional and spiritual balance, bringing with it true relaxation and peace.

The incredible benefits of massage are doubly powerful if taken in regular “doses.” Dr. Maria Hernandez-Reif, from the Touch Research Institute (TRI) at the University of Miami, is known for her massage research, along with colleague Tiffany Field. Together, they and other researchers have done outstanding work proving the value of massage. While their studies have shown we can benefit from massage even in small doses (15 minutes of chair massage or a half-hour table session), Hernandez-Reif says they know from their research that receiving bodywork 2-3 times a week is highly beneficial. And if we lived in a fantasy world, Hernandez-Reif has the answer. “I feel a daily massage is optimal.”

Deep Tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. This type of massage focuses on the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles. Deep tissue massage is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity, such as athletes, and patients who have sustained physical injury. It is also not uncommon for receivers of Deep Tissue Massage to have their pain replaced with a new muscle ache for a day or two. Deep tissue work varies greatly. What one calls deep tissue another will call light. When receiving deep tissue work it is important to communicate what you are feeling.
