The heat can do wonders for loosening up particularly stubborn knots and tension and relieving chronic pain.
>>716002220That's what a lot of people have told me in the past, too. That's actually how I got into massage therapy, just giving out random neck/shoulder rubs at the fast food place I was working at. Got a ton of compliments, so I dropped the engineering plan I had in mind and looked into massage instead, and it's been a great, if somewhat unstable, career so far.
