Hot Stone massage is incorporates smooth, heated river stones to warm and deeply relax the entire body.
What Can You Expect During Treatment?
Stones of various weights and sizes are pre-warmed in water. The therapist applies oil and performs Swedish massage techniques while holding hot stones in their hands. At times, warm stones may be placed on key points of the body, including the back, palms and feet. The heat penetrates into the tissues, allowing the therapist to work into the muscles without using deep pressure, or to better treat any areas that are requested.
What Is It Recommended For?
-Stress and anxiety
-Poor circulation, chills
-Muscle tension
-Insomnia
-Fatigue
Considerations:
Hot Stone massage is not appropriate for patients who have high blood pressure, heart disease, heat sensitivity, fever or are on medication that thins your blood. A full hot stone treatment would be too warming for women who are pregnant.
The heat is deeply relaxing and particularly enjoyable during the cold winter months.
