Using this TheraTools Soapstone Y Trigger Massage Tool is a breeze. First, decide if you want to use it with heat or cold. You can heat it up in warm water or cool it in the fridge. Once it's at the right temperature, hold the tool firmly. Use the three flat, rounded points to target specific pressure points on the body. Apply steady pressure for a few seconds on each point. For a more relaxing deep effleurage, use the curved sides and glide it smoothly over the skin. When you're done, wash the tool with mild soap and warm water. Dry it thoroughly and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid dropping the tool as it might break. Also, don't expose it to extreme temperatures for a long time to keep its heat - and cold - retaining properties intact.
