T spheres® are innovative and unique self-massage balls born from over 15 years of research & development. This natural way to relieve pain from the body uses the two most scientifically researched alternative methods for stress relief. The infusion of aromatherapy essential oils into purified, perfectly weighted organic rubber compound has never been accomplished before; making t spheres® the only massage ball with both beneficial attributes.

The t spheres concept was developed while traveling with massage clients on tour. Stephanie Whittier LMT, CST needed to take care of herself – tennis balls and other rubber balls were not satisfactory to release trigger points and she started to play with different types and sizes of a varied group of rubber balls – this is when she came up with the compound that is the t spheres massage ball. Always interested in aromatherapy she came up with a way to combine the two in a patent pending process – no other massage ball can accomplish this, this product is truly unique.

Each travel bag comes with a spray-top re-infuser and simple ‘how to use’ pictorial instructions.

I just released a Yoga DVD for Bodyworkers called Create Peace Yoga. It gives a Strength routine, a Renew routine, and a bonus Yoga 4 the Hands.

Stay Healthy!

The pain in carpal tunnel is actually caused by the welling due to inflammation, so anything that helps reduce inflammation will help with the pain of carpal tunnel. Anti-inflammatory diet, lots of vitamin c, lymphatic massage, swedish massage, bindegewebsmassge, actually most massage. Just don't over-do, as it can irritate the tissues in the area and that would increase inflammation. It is important to be gentle.

This is a good resource for building a series of helpful stretches for anyone with hand and arm issues."Conquering Carpal Tunnel Syndrome"

Stretching of the flexor retinaculum saved my wife from an operation for her carpals.  Questions?   touchmaster@me.com

What books and or continuing education are good for carpal tunnel? I have a client that recently had breast cancer and her symptoms began after chemo and radiation. She has been diagnosed and wants massage to help her. She is in need and I want to help her effectively. she can't have surgery because of the demand on the lymph repairing the breast tissue. Ideas?

Yeah I'm a case to be studied =D I'll google practitioners in my area!  Intriging! On a quest for self healing makes me a compassionate healer myself. Thanks Nancy!

Tenee, you would be an interesting case to work with. I wonder if there are any Trager Practitioners in your area who could work with you?

 

Another thought- for a temporary fix- how about the voice activation computer programs? In fact I think the new Windows 7 comes with it. You have to train the program to your voice, but they do work. In fact you could just record and not even bother with written notes. If they were needed for a court case or such, you could have them transcribed.

Nancy~That sounds wonderful! As a LMT diagnosed with Focal Dystonia (before I became a therapist), I could probably use some of the Trager Mentastics technique. I am pain free during and after a massage, it's writing the SOAP notes where dystonia gets tricky;) Any other thoughts?
