A process for conducting therapeutic deep tissue physical massage on human patients, and an aid for use in practicing the process, are characterized by a solid, massage stick comprised of three polyethylene glycols, namely, a major proportion of a first polyethylene glycol having a relatively high viscosity and a melting temperature in excess of the temperature of the human body, a lower proportion of a second polyethylene glycol having a melting temperature less than the temperature of the human body, and a minor proportion of a third polyethylene glycol exhibiting lubricity or emolliency. The resultant product and use of the same pursuant to the process provide the therapist with a solid firmness and a sense of tackiness or drag needed for effective therapeutic deep tissue massage and mobilization; and at the same time, provide a degree of lubricity or emolliency that mitigates against abrasion or traumatization of the skin and contributes to the massaging actions of the therapist and a feeling of well being on the part of the patient.
