Hot stone massage uses a combination of warmed stones and massage techniques to relax tense muscles, relieve pain and stiffness, and improve circulation. The treatment can be used for ailments like muscular aches, arthritic conditions, and autoimmune disorders. The heat of the stones penetrates the skin to promote better blood flow, release toxins and create a deeper muscle relaxation than in a standard massage.
By placing the warmed stones over acupressure points you can help release the flow of energy and promote the body's own healing process. Those who do hot stone massage can also customize the treatment to a client's specific needs and preferences. It is vitally important that you use caution and pay close attention to your participant.
