Hot Stone Massage
What is hot stone massage?
Hot stone massage is a technique used in ancient cultures including Native
American healing practice. Hot stones provide the benefits of thermal
therapy with energy balancing properties. Thermal therapy affects
circulation and provides a method to reach deep tissue for healing.
Basalt stones are used for hot therapy. These are aged, volcanic rock
smoothed by many years in rivers and oceans. The rocks are hand harvested
and vary in size and shape. Each rock comes with a history of its own. And,
being massaged with the stones, brings that history to you. Since the basalt
stones hold heat but not cold, marble or crystals are used for cold therapy.
What are the benefits of Hot Stone massage?
Since the hot stones are used to massage the body, you receive the same
benefits as a Swedish massage, deep tissue massage and trigger point work.
The added benefit is heat that penetrates the muscle and tendon providing
deeper work with less pressure.
The smooth texture of rock and the heat provides dramatic stress reducing
results. Many recipients go into meditative state early in the session.
