Hot Stone Massage Relief

Are you in need of some relaxation, muscle tension and stress relief?  If so, a Hot Stone Massage may be just what you need! The use of Hot Stone Massage to relieve pains and stress is not new to massage therapy. Therapeutic Hot Stone Massage has been around centuries and has been used by ancient cultures including Europeans, and Native Americans. This therapeutic massage technique, used for thousands of years, helps improve overall mental, spiritual, and physical wellness.

Hot Stone Massage Benefits

As with the other massage therapies, Hot Stone Massage is associated with many benefits. Because the hot stones allow deeper penetration into the muscle tissue, you may find that a Hot Stone Massage leaves you feeling physically better than a Swedish or deep-tissue massage that does not incorporate heat. Easy relaxation of the muscles, and improved circulation and healing to the area is more easily achieved through Hot Stone Massage.

Clients also benefit from stress reduction, release of stored muscle toxins and pain reduction with the use of this therapy. In addition, Hot Stone Massage is used as a therapy to relieve certain health problems such as arthritis, anxiety, stress, back pain, depression, insomnia and problems related to poor circulation.

Hot Stone Massage Techniques

How is the massage performed? Smooth basalt stones in varying sizes are heated in a water bath to a temperature around 130 degrees.  The hot stones are lightly oiled and incorporated into a traditional Swedish massage,  introduced in the therapists hands.  The stones are kept moving, slowly relaxing the muscle tissue beneath them.  I like to refer to the feeling like “a warm butter knife melting through a pat of butter.”

Hot Stone Massage Warmer with Stones

Depending on the size and shape of the stone, they can be used to contact larger or smaller muscle tissue.  Trigger point or “knot” therapy is also addressed using smaller stones which pinpoint and help melt away tender spots.  The heat from the stones, helps to address deeper muscle tissue more specifically, more quickly and with more comfort. This helps the client receive quicker more lasting results than a traditional massage where heat therapy is not incorporated.
