Hot Stone Therapy

What is Hot Stone Therapy?

Hot Stone Therapy is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones. They are often basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well, but they can be other types. The heat is both deeply relaxing and helps tight muscles release.

What should you expect from a Hot Stone Therapy treatment?

Before you arrive, the massage therapist sanitizes the stones and heats them in 120 and 150 degree water. The therapist uses traditional strokes of Swedish massage while holding a heated stone. As the stone cools, the therapist replaces it with another. The therapist might also leave heated stones in specific points along your spine, or in the palms of your hand, or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy in your body. If you have inflammation or muscle injury, cold stones are sometimes used. Many people find the warmth of the hot stones to be comforting. Hot stone massage is suited to people who tend to feel chilly or who have cold feet. It’s also suited for people who have muscle tension but prefer a lighter massage. The heat relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist to work the muscles without using deep pressure.

What are the benefits of Hot Stone Therapy?

The heat from the stones pretreated the muscles, which allows the therapist to more easily work deep tissue. The list of benefits include:

- Promotes deep muscle and tissue relaxation
- Alleviates stress
- Improves circulation
- Calms the psyche
- Releases toxins
- Relieves pain
Certain health conditions also benefit from this type of massage. These include:

- Muscular aches and pains
- Arthritis
- Back Pain
- MS
- Circulatory problems
- Fibromylagia
- Stress, Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Depression

For mental wellness conditions, it helps melt away tension creating a calming atmosphere. The stresses and anxieties of everyday life disappear, allowing your mind to relax at the deepest level. A sense of well being is created during the massage. It can be especially beneficial for those who suffer from insomnia. They are often cured by it because of its ability to put the mind at ease. Depression is often helped for the same reason.
