Thermal Palms® are warm, hand-held pouches filled with grains that help to deliver heat deep into targeted areas of the body. The Palms are moved around during treatment, they mould and contour to the natural shape of your body. Their malleable and soft nature allows them to provide a deep and effective massage, and the heat they provide is less intense than those of hot stones, which is beneficial for those with more sensitive skin. The heat, combined with proper massage technique, helps to relieve chronic muscle tension in problem areas such as the legs, hip, back, neck, and arms. This massage technique helps those who are suffering from stress, anxiety, insomnia, fibromyalgia, and the physical manifestations of these ailments, as well as others. The heat from the palms is massaged deep into the tissue, muscles, joints and tendons of the body, and makes these areas more responsive to the massage treatment. Heat increases blood flow, and lymphatic drainage; this allows the areas to heal more quickly and drain out unwanted toxins and waste that might inhibit healing or increase muscle tenderness the next day.
