deep fascia massage
What are other massage therapists using for lubrication?
I recently got a job as a CMT at a physical therapist’s office, so I’m doing a lot of deep tissue. I’m sick and tired of the lotion we used at school (Biotone), and I’m looking for something that is hypoallergenic, unscented, and will help in fascial warming. I’ve looked at several products (Fascia Free, Prossage, Sombra), but I’ve yet to meet anyone who has used them.
I use good ole Palmer’s Cocoa Butter (the waxy stuff, not the lotion cream) for deep tissue work. You can get it at just about any drug store.
