What Hot Stone Massage Involves

Our modern hot stone massage involves the use of stones– usually basalt– heated in water. Your massage therapist will then place the stones on your skin, using the heat to expand blood vessels and relieve pain and tension. Often, the stones are placed on key points such as the spine, shoulders and lower back. This allows the heat to penetrate deeply. Our warm stone massage, also, incorporates a full body massage.

Health Benefits of Heated Stone Massage

Stress affects the body in a variety of ways. It can make relaxation difficult, promoting insomnia and tension. It can make pain more acute and upset the digestive process. One of the biggest benefits of any type of massage is the relaxing effect it can have on the body. Here is a break down of the benefits associated with hot stone massage.

Ease Tension- When you are stressed, your muscles have a habit of tensing up. It often happens so subtly or gradually, you are unaware that you are carrying this tension around until you really begin to feel uncomfortable. A hot stone massage can ease muscles and relieve tension.
Relieves Pain- When you are tense or under stress, you will feel pain more than you might if you were not as tense. The heat from a heated stone massage, along with the massage itself, can significantly reduce the pain you are experiencing.
Reduces Stress and Anxiety-The tension easing techniques also promote a more relaxed mind. When your body is more relaxed, it is easier for your mind to do the same.
Helps Cure Insomnia- The heat from our hot stones not only relieves muscle tension and encourages circulation, but it also has a soothing, sedative effect. Many people find that this helps to promote deep, restful sleep.
