Heat is best when used to warm up the muscles before a work out. So if you are preparing for a sporting event receiving a massage with hydrotherapy will improve the elasticity of the tendons and ligaments and provide you with better ease of movement. Heat is also great to relieve muscle soreness and pain. Heat treats chronic pain, stiffness, and muscle aches by bringing circulation and oxygen rich blood flow to the areas of pain. It is not to be used in the acute phase of injury or on an inflamed area because it increases circulation and raises skin temperature. Hot stones, hydro collator packs, hot towels, and an electric heated blanket on the table are the forms of heat therapy used at Peace of Mind. We also give recommendations for home care with the use of heat. Cold therapy is used on acute injuries and inflammation by narrowing of the blood vessels. This is great for joint injuries and stiffness. Cold can actually be very soothing on areas of pain and inflammation. Along with treating acute injuries, cold therapy can be useful for chronic conditions such as a chronic knee pain felt when cycling or running. Cold Therapy is great for tennis elbow and when used regularly before a tennis match, less pain and better performance can be achieved. At Peace of Mind we have gel filled ice packs that can be contorted around body parts and big enough for large areas such as the back. At Peace of Mind we specialize in Deep Tissue and that can cause soreness like from a work out for the client. Use of ice after a deep massage or a hard work out is always a good idea. We can offer home care cold therapy recommendations for our clients. Hydrotherapy is excellent in conjunction with massage for maximum results. At Peace of Mind we do not charge extra for use of any of our hydrotherapy options. We usually assess right away if the client could benefit from use of these tools and then ask if it is okay for us to use hydrotherapy during the massage. We also take requests! If you are looking for a massage with use of hot stones, hot towls, hot packs, heated table, or cold packs just ask! It is a good idea to book a longer massage such as 75 or 90 minutes when booking a hydrotherapy massage
