Hot stone massage therapy

Hot stone massage is a specialty massage where the therapist uses smooth, heated stones to warm up tight muscles so he can work on pressure points and problem areas to alleviate tension and stress. Hot stones may either be placed on the body or used as an extension of the therapist’s hands, which allows the therapist to work more deeply and more quickly.

The Benefits of Hot Stone Massage Therapy

With the application of water-heated basalt stones, hot stone therapy targets key points on the body, giving a deep massage that creates a sensation of comfort and warmth. Warm stones expand the blood vessels, helping to move blood faster round the body, sedating the nervous system.

  • Deep relaxation, the warmth relaxes both physically and mentally.
  • The heat from the stones is transferred to the body by conduction and it can reach up to 3 – 4 cm into the muscle.
  • Stress is reduced, relieving mental and physical fatigue.
  • Circulation is improved and muscles have an increased blood supply, improving function.
  • Toxins and waste are eliminated more quickly.
  • The warmth can relieve pain in muscles and joints.
  • Tension in connective tissue is released.
  • There is a deep comfort of receiving warmth on the body.
  • The direct heat that hot stone therapy provides, relaxes muscles allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than with regular massage.
  • A Hot Stone therapy massage expands the blood vessels and pushes blood and unwanted waste materials through the body.

It is said that one massage stroke delivered by a Hot Stone therapist whilst using the stones, is actually as powerful as ten normal massage strokes. The effects are thought to last ten times longer than a conventional holistic massage!
