A hot stone massage combines the techniques used in multiple disciplines of massage with the added hot stone benefits of improved circulation, reduced inflammation, detoxification and more.
A hot stone massage is a type of therapeutic massage that involves the use of smooth, heated stones as part of the massage technique. The stones are usually made of basalt, a volcanic rock with excellent heat-retaining properties. In addition to placing the stones on the body, the therapist may also use them as a massage tool, using the heat to penetrate deeper into the muscle tissue and provide a more effective massage. The main difference between a regular and a hot stone massage is the use of heated stones.
In a regular massage, the therapist typically uses their hands, fingers, and elbows to apply pressure to the muscles and soft tissues of the body. The therapist may also use other techniques, such as stretching, kneading, or deep tissue work, to help release tension and relieve pain.
In a hot stone massage, the therapist uses smooth, heated stones as a massage tool, either by placing them on specific areas of the body or using them to massage the muscles.
