Hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy that uses heated stones to relax muscles and relieve pain. The stones are typically made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that can hold heat for a long period of time. The therapist will warm the stones in a special oven until they reach a temperature of 120-140 degrees Fahrenheit. They will then place the stones on your body in strategic locations, such as your back, neck, shoulders, and feet. The heat from the stones will help to relax your muscles and improve circulation.

Here are some of the benefits of hot stone massage:

• Relieves muscle tension and pain. The heat from the stones can help to relax tight muscles and relieve pain. This can be helpful for people with chronic pain, such as back pain or arthritis.
• Reduces stress and anxiety. The combination of heat and massage can help to reduce stress and anxiety. This is because massage releases endorphins, which have mood-boosting effects.
• Improves sleep. Hot stone massage can help to improve sleep quality. This is because the heat from the stones can help to relax the body and mind, making it easier to fall asleep.
• Improves circulation. The heat from the stones can help to improve circulation. This is because it causes the blood vessels to dilate, which allows blood to flow more easily.
• Promotes detoxification. The heat from the stones can help to promote detoxification by increasing sweating. This can help to remove toxins from the body.
• Improves skin health. The heat from the stones can help to improve skin health by increasing blood flow and collagen production. This can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and age spots.

If you are considering a hot stone massage, it is important to find a qualified therapist who has experience in this type of massage. You should also let your therapist know if you have any health conditions that may affect the massage.

Here is what happens at a full body hot stone massage:

• The therapist will start by asking you about your health history and any areas of pain or discomfort.
• They will then warm the stones and place them on your body in strategic locations.
• The therapist will use Swedish massage techniques, with various pressures, to work the muscles around the stones.
• The massage will last for about an hour.
• After the massage, the therapist will help you to relax and get dressed.

You may feel some soreness after a hot stone massage, but this should go away within a few days. If you have any pain or discomfort that does not go away, please contact your doctor.
