What is Hot Stone Massage Therapy?

Hot stone massage therapy is a type of thermo-therapy that uses penetrating heat from basalt rocks. It improves the operation of lymphatic and immune systems, normalizes body functions, and assists the body in self-healing. Ultimately, the goal of hot stone massage therapy is deep relaxation that will alleviate chronic and acute problems. This type of treatment also facilitates balance within the body.

Before the appointment, the massage therapist sanitizes the stones and heats them in a bath of 120 to 150 degrees water. The stones themselves are usually basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well and has been smoothed by natural forces in the river or sea.

The therapist will use several stones when performing a hot stone massage. They vary in shape and size allowing the practitioner to use the stone as an extension of their hands. The direct heat of the stones melts away muscle tension, allowing the therapist to access the deeper muscle layers.

Combined with regular massage, this treatment delivers a wealth of benefits, including:

* Reduced stress and anxiety
* Muscle pain and spasm relief
* Better joint mobility and flexibility
* Improved circulation
* Insomnia support
* Pain relief from conditions such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and multiple sclerosis
