Hip joints are just like machines which are well set and preserved. The head of the femur bone, which is located loosely in the hollow of the pelvic bone, forms the joint. The significance of a well-set hip joint cannot be emphasized more than saying that it controls all our movement. But, being the part of our body that is almost under perpetual movement, this joint is inclined to wear out as age advances. Once it takes place, the joint would not be able to support our weight and move unhampered. In such a situation, you may have to involve curative strategies, and in the worst cases, hip joint replacement may be the only long term recourse left.In addition to continual wear, diseases like bone tumors, arthritis of different kinds etc can also result in hip joint harm. But the modern improvements in the field have ensured that treatment or replacement of hips is efficient and capable of returning normal lives to patients. In mild cases, doctors may advise drugs and lifestyle changes, and in more severe cases, physiotherapy and related cures are recommended. But if the circumstance is too serious, replacement of hip joint may be advised. It has been observed that patients all over...more

Nothing feels better than a hot bath, or the feeling of warm sun or sand on the back. I love this feeling. There is something great about this warmth. This relaxes our muscles and feels great on the skin and bones. There is a way to have this feeling through a trained massage technician. She/he will perform a hot stone massage. I was a little nervous at first when I heard about it - not to mention surprised, but I tried it. I loved it and make one part of my weekly routine.Don't worry, it is all done by a certified massage therapist in a clinical environment and the stones are kept in sanitized water until they are needed. Then gloves or other tools are used to remove them when needed. This is to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Massage therapists are certified after a long course of training.The stones used for this are the ones used through the ages and the history of hot stone massage. They are smooth basalt stones. These retain heat very well and are believed to have energizing properties.Another great thing about this type of massage is that it is easier on the hands of the massage therapist as the tools are used to apply pressure. The stones are laid out on both...more
