Hot Stone Therapy

The Benefits That Come from Hot Stone Therapy

Hot Stone Therapy is the placement of warm river rocks that contain basalt to retain heat. The stones are placed strategically on a person’s body to assist in the relaxation of muscles and to relieve stress. The therapeutic benefits that come from the stones and where they are placed can assist in a wide range of pain and stress relief situations. The stones themselves are mostly river rocks that have been heated in sanitized water before use and are very smooth to the touch.

Muscle Relaxation

It is no surprise that the flowing heat from the stone relaxes your muscles and reduces tension. In fact, hot stone therapy can be used as a beginning to a deep tissue massage in order to reduce the tension in the muscles prior to working on them through massage.

Pain Relief

Massage is an excellent method for pain relief however when in combination with a hot stone therapy to loosen the muscles, your results greatly improve. The relaxation of your muscles allows the massage to penetrate deeper and provides a better result.

Improved Circulation

Often tense muscles lead to fatigue of those muscles and your overall circulation suffers. The hot stones break down the tension and will allow your circulation to improve immensely. Again, with a deep tissue massage, once the muscles are relaxed and your circulation is flowing, your overall experience is that much better.
