Now we're moving from the mid back to the upper back. I've got my heated stones and I've already placed my oil. So, I come in with some effleurage strokes, clicking my stones as they cool. Getting into the rhomboid muscles in between the shoulder blades. How's the pressure? Good. All through the mid traps and then I can come lower, come out to the upper traps, back down. Also, come around the scapula. Go over it lightly because there are some bony protuberants there. You don't want to go over them too hard. There are a lot of muscle attachments to get in here. To release the shoulder, the upper back, and the neck. I'm going to switch out my stones for some smaller ones, and hotter ones so I can get into the neck. Come up the upper traps. Can also do some muscle stripping, this is a great tool stone to do that. Come into the muscled and strip up to the insertion. And I do that on the both sides of the upper back and neck. That's how you do hot stones for the upper back and neck. Thank you.
