What is Hot Stone Massage?

A hot stone massage is a therapeutic massage technique that involves the use of heated stones placed on specific areas of the body. The stones are typically smooth, flat basalt stones, which are heated to a comfortable temperature and then used in conjunction with traditional massage techniques. The warmth of the stones helps to relax muscles, ease tension, and promote a deeper state of relaxation.

How does it work?

During a hot stone massage, the therapist may use the stones as an extension of their hands, applying gentle pressure and gliding them along the body. The heat from the stones penetrates deep into the muscles, promoting increased blood flow and aiding in the release of muscle tension and stiffness. This can provide relief from chronic pain, improve circulation, and induce a sense of overall relaxation and well-being.
