Okay, moving from the mid-back we're going to move to the - sorry, moving from the lower back, we're moving to the mid-back. And, I already have my oil, we use our effleurage strokes, and I have my rocks here. So, I'm going to sweep up the sides of the body, cupping the stones into this side of my hands, not using too much pressure. Be mindful of the bony landmarks. Okay, move a little bit faster with the petrissage, into the muscle tissue, turning the stones intermittently. These strokes can link me to the upper body later on. I'd also like to get in between the spine and the erector spine muscles, so I have the edge of my rock in between the spine and these muscles, and I'm going to push away from the spine, the edge of the stone, to separate these muscles, stretch the mid-back, which can release a lot of tension linking the lower back and the upper back. And I can do the same on the other side. And that's hot stone for the mid-back.
