What is Hot Stone Massage?
- Hot Stone Massage is a therapeutic massage technique using smooth, heated stones to massage larger muscles.
- They can also be placed on specific points of the body to help release specific muscle trigger points.
- The warmth of the stones helps to relax muscles, allowing the massage therapist to apply deeper pressure if needed.
- The stones may also be used as an extension of the therapists hands during the massage.
- The overall aim is to promote relaxation, reduce muscle tension and enhance the overall well being of the client.
Like many of the Asian healing arts the aim is to achieve harmony in body, mind and spirit. A one-hour session will help greatly but 90 minutes will better balance chronic conditions.
