This treatment is very soothing for those who suffer from muscle
and joint pain or who simply enjoy the toasty feeling that
warmth provides. Oatmeal is heated to make the thermal palms – a
scent reminiscent of childhood times spent with grandma!
History of Thermal Palms
Huguette Long, a massage therapist, introduced this treatment.
She had been massaging with hot stones, yet wanted to find a
hand-held modality that was soft and would cushion the effects
of pressure against bone, with the added benefit of providing
longer lasting heat. After many years of research, in 2005 she
invented Thermal Palms and the massage routines. With Thermal
Palms’ soft, hand-held heat modality, it is a perfect complement
for chair and table massage.
