Revitalizing Hot Stone Massage

Your muscles will feel relieved of pain and tension after a hot stone massage. In this type of therapeutic massage, heated stones are used instead of or in addition to the therapist's hands, similar to Swedish massage. Warm stones reduce muscle tension while improving blood flow and relieving pain. A therapist who performs this significant massage applies hot volcanic stones to the back, spine, shoulders, arms, and tailbones as the temperature is maintained between 110°F and 113°F. When administered with hot stones, they help relieve muscle tension, improve blood flow, reduce pain, and promote relaxation while also relieving stress. During a hot stone massage, heated stones are rubbed over the body, and where necessary, oil is massaged into the body as well. Sweden's massage therapists use stones to massage different parts of the body with gentle pressure.
