I saw this technique recommended on another thread and wanted to post it where everyone could see it.
For those of you that have cold intolerance, I would NOT recommend this technique!!! The cold just causes me to tense up everywhere and it makes me worse even where the therapist sprays and stretches.
I get much better relief if my therapist uses hot stones or some other form of moist heat and then stretches my muscles. The cold just tenses everything up and I get no results whatsoever and sometimes I even get worse from the spray and stretch technique.
I am sure it may work for some people, but I want those with cold intolerance to be aware of the risks.

Thanks Starflower, I am going to ask my fibro doc about the "Spray and stretch", with heat, not cold. I have Raynauds and it would probably hurt like crazy. I want to give it a try if it is done nearby.
