Deep-tissue massage is often more effective and affordable for relieving chronic pain than conventional medical remedies. Because deep-tissue massage increases the flow of blood through through the body, it helps reduce the inflammation that causes pain. Deep-tissue massage can also help alleviate muscle tension that is often a side effect of chronic pain by loosening the tight tissue clusters.

The heat from the stones helps your muscles relax, allowing the massage therapist to manipulate your deep tissues more effectively. Overly tense muscles can hinder the massage procedure, so if your muscles are extremely tight or stiff, the heated stones may provide the extra relaxation you need for the massage to be beneficial in releasing tension and easing sore muscles.

Trigger points are created by muscle strains and microtrauma (within the muscle belly) and are sore due to a lack of blood flow and nutrients. Pressure is applied and held on the trigger point from anywhere to 10-30 seconds and then released when they relax.
 
Positional release is a technique used to relieve strained muscles and increase range of motion. While pressing into the tissue, the body is positioned to ease the strain on the muscle. This resets the length of the muscle tissue and allows it to slowly release.
 
Stretches can then be used to lengthen shortened muscles to rebalance the body.
