Here’s how these simple yet powerful tools and techniques can benefit you during these scorching summer months.
​
​MYOFASCIAL RELEASE MASSAGE

​
1. Improves Circulation
FasciaBlasting enhances blood flow by stimulating circulation, which may help in cooling the body by promoting more efficient heat dissipation and reducing the feeling of congestion from heat.
​
2. Reduces Muscle Tension
During hot weather, muscles can become even more tense from prolonged heat exposure or activity. FasciaBlasting promotes muscle relaxation. This release of muscle tension can help alleviate discomfort associated with heat.
3. Increases Lymphatic Drainage
FasciaBlasting techniques also help with fluid management through lymphatic drainage, which can assist in reducing swelling and discomfort from heat-related fluid retention.
4. Enhances Recovery
For those engaging in summer sports or physical activities, FasciaBlasting can aid in quicker muscle recovery for powerful post-activity relief, which can be particularly useful when the body is stressed by heat.
5. Potential Cooling Effect
While not a direct cooling method, the improved circulation and reduced muscle tension from FasciaBlasting might indirectly contribute to a sense of temporary relief from heat symptoms.
​​
If you are FasciaBlasting at home, here are some considerations to be aware of.
- Avoid Overuse: Be cautious not to overuse FasciaBlasting, especially if your body is already sensitive from heat. Excessive use can lead to soreness or irritation.
- Combine with Other Strategies: For optimal results, combine FasciaBlasting with other cooling methods, such as hydration, KryoBlankets, and proper rest.

MICROCURRENT POINT STIM

Microcurrent Point Stimulation, or MPS, integrates the principles of acupressure with modern neurological science to provide a holistic approach to treating the body and mind. By using the Dolphin Neurostim microcurrent device to target specific points that regulate the body’s internal balance, this unique complementary treatment can help alleviate discomfort during high summer heat and humidity.
​
Some of the acupoints that might be utilized during your treatment include:
​
L 14 -useful for heat-related symptoms, headaches, and improvement in overall energy flow
​
PC 8 - useful for heat-related symptoms, excessive sweating, and nausea
​

ICE MASSAGE
using chilled body globes
​
1. Temperature Regulation
Ice massage helps to lower body temperature by cooling the skin’s surface. Applying an ice pack or a cold massage tool to areas like the neck, wrists, or feet can provide instant relief from the oppressive heat, helping to regulate your body’s overall temperature. Other common areas of application include the shoulders, back, and legs.
2. Reduces Swelling and Inflammation
Heat can lead to swelling and inflammation, particularly in areas exposed to prolonged sun or physical exertion. An ice massage reduces blood flow to the area, which can help to decrease swelling and inflammation, providing a soothing effect and accelerating recovery.
3. Relieves Muscle Tension
Summer activities often involve increased physical exertion, which can lead to muscle soreness and tension. Ice massage can help relax tense muscles by reducing inflammation and numbing the area, making it a valuable tool for post-activity recovery.
4. Enhances Blood Circulation
While ice might initially constrict blood vessels, it ultimately promotes improved circulation as the body works to warm the area afterward. This process can boost overall circulation and assist in flushing out metabolic waste products that can accumulate during hot weather.
5. Boosts Mood and Mental Clarity
Exposure to intense heat can sometimes lead to irritability and mental fatigue. The refreshing sensation of an ice massage can invigorate the senses, helping to enhance mental clarity and improve your mood.
