Hot stone massage is a therapeutic massage technique that involves the use of smooth, heated stones placed on specific points on the body. These heated stones are typically made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat well. The stones are heated to a comfortable temperature and then placed strategically along the body’s energy centers or tense areas.
During the massage, the therapist may also hold the stones and use them to massage certain areas of the body, applying gentle pressure and warmth to relax muscles and alleviate tension. The combination of heat and massage helps to promote deep relaxation, improve circulation, and release stored tension in the muscles, leaving you feeling deeply relaxed and rejuvenated.
The heat from the stones helps to relax muscles, making it easier for the therapist to access deeper layers of tissue and release tension.
The heat from the stones dilates blood vessels, increasing blood flow throughout the body. This helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and organs, promoting healing and overall well-being.
The warmth and gentle pressure of the stones have a calming effect on the nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress and anxiety levels.
Many clients report improved sleep quality after receiving a hot stone massage, as the deep relaxation induced by the treatment can help to promote a restful night's sleep.
Hot stone massage has been shown to stimulate the lymphatic system, helping to eliminate toxins from the body and boost immune function.
