A new client arrives yesterday and upon greeting her, she explained that she’d burned her hand earlier in the kitchen. I saw the burns, they looked tender. I gave her some fresh aloe to cool the hand with while we visited. We added a little cooling gel for the sting in good measure….
After stepping out for her to prepare for the massage, I dug through my mini fridge to find something suitable to help while she was on the table.
I called out to ask her if she was open to something a little odd, she agreed…
“How about a nice cold hard boiled egg?”
Not missing a beat.
“Sure!”
I’ll provide warm massage stones for clients to hold when their hands are chilled 🥶
🙌 🧊
But this was a first. The egg held the cool temp well through the session. After the massage, I encouraged her to add the egg to any Easter celebrations. I used a red Sharpie to give the brown egg some polka dots and sent her home feeling better and with the…odd…. (but egg-fective 🥁) souvenir.
My lesson in all this is?
It is time to defrost the mini fridge.
🥚 If you missed your midday protein snack, that’s ok. It could become a comforting first aid tool in your future.
‼️ Warning - I have only tried this with a hard boiled egg, but I will try to report back with findings on other eggs
*cough Cadbury™️ cough-*

All I could think about was this scene with Danny Devito in IASIP - iykyk
