Hello, I'm Rebecca Herrick, here at Everything Peaceful in Wilmington North Carolina to give you a review of massage equipment. Here we've got displayed a couple of things that we use during massage, including creams or oils. Those are essential to any massage that you give. There's also a variety of tools that you can use to help save your hands, or help to get deeper into the tissue of your clients with greater ease. This is an example of one, it's a trigger point massage tool made by the company called The Sick, and you just use it by rolling along the tissue of your client and using it to add pressure where it's needed. Another technique tool that we use to help increase flexibility in our clients muscles is some rolling devices or some stretching bands, and these are used just to save your body and help increase the stretch of the client. Some more important tools that we use are heat and ice therapy, and those are used either damp heat or moist heat, electric, or other. And of course to increase the relaxation of your client you may want to use an eye pillow or things like that. And that's a massage equipment review.
