Hot Stone Massage

Basalt stones are heated in hot water and usually applied with long, flowing Swedish strokes. Large, flat stones are placed on points of tension and increase circulation to the area in order to help loosen muscle tissue. Hot stones are used during a relaxation, injury rehabilitation or deep tissue massage. Indications include muscle soreness, stress, chronic musculoskeletal conditions or low energy. Most people love it as it creates a feeling of peacefulness and deep relaxation that helps wash away stress. The stones may be placed on your chest, palms, in between toes, along your spine.
