massage and wheatbags

I've been experimenting recently with wheatbags and massage.

I have noticed that using heat/wheatbags before during and after

massage will assist greatly the injured part.

My friend hurt his quadriceps muscle recently, i firstly advised him to

apply a wheatbag to it as it was just to painful to massage.

I got him to keep putting wheatbag back in microwave and appliying it

to his leg muscle. The next day i was able to give him a massage

and loosen up the muscle more. He went home aput more heat on it we

continued this for two more days. With amazing results.

Keeping the heat on the injured part warms it up allowing it to relax,

also bringing good blood to the area allowing it to heal.

Head to sore to do anything.

It is well known that headaches can be caused by many different things.
Some of these include:
Alcohol
Muscle tension
Eye strain
skeletal miss alignment
Whip lash
dehydration
Excessive noise
Toxicity

Headache relief can be eased, by a good remedial massage or reflexology, some of the time.
Also important is drinking a lot of water. Eight glasses a day is recommended, whether you have a headache or not.
This is because the body is made up of 80% water and if this level drops the toxicity level increases, sometimes resulting in a headache.
