HOT STONE MASSAGE
Hot stone massage is a variation on
classic massage therapy.

The use of hot stones for healing dates
back to ancient times.

The hot stones are usually made of basalt,
a type of rock that is rich in iron, so they
retain heat. River rocks are normally used
because they are so smooth - they have
been smoothed over time by the river's
current.

The stones are immersed in water and
heated in an electric heating device until
they are within a certain temperature
range. The stones may be placed at
specific points on the back, in the palms of
the hand, or between the toes.

The heat warms and relaxes the muscles,
which allows the therapist to apply deeper
pressure, if desired.

The warmth of the hot stones improves
circulation and calms the nervous system.


Why Do People Get Hot Stone
Massage?

Many people find the warmth of the hot
stones to be comforting and get it for
relaxation.

Hot stone massage is suited to people
who tend to feel chilly or who have cold
feet. It's also suited for people who have
muscle tension but prefer a lighter
massage. The heat relaxes muscles,
allowing the therapist to work the muscles
without using deep pressure.
