What is hot stone Massage ?
Hot stone massage uses water-heated basalt lava stones of varying sizes in combination with traditional massage techniques. The heated stones create a feeling of continuous heat throughout the body, which can make you more physically and emotionally receptive to the therapeutic benefits of the massage
The overall effect is a dramatic increase in circulation. The stones can be used for a full body massage or for spot work in certain areas of the body. Simply lying on the heated stones is a comforting and grounding experience that is uniquely different from a mere massage. Even without any skilled hands working out kinks in sore muscles, the simple combination of heat and smooth round rock produces a relaxing effect. |
