Hot Stone Massage:

Hot stone massage is a variation on classic massage therapy. Heated smooth, flat stones are placed on key points on the body. They are used to massage certain areas of the body. The use of hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times.

How Does Hot Stone Massage Work?

The hot stones are 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.
