Re: Ice really does work (warmth too)

[Guest guest]

,

At this very moment, I sit here with my achey, breaky feet in my

vibrating/heated foot bath. You are so right. And sometimes I find

that alternating between warm and cold seems to help me. After too

long on the guitar I find ice is nice and then followed by a dip in

my parafin bath oh so refreshing. Trouble is that my feet will not

fit in the parafin bath. But the moist heat is good too.

Well, off to work.
