Hot Stone Massage
In the entire history of massage therapy there has been a great deal of discussion about what type of massage is the most relaxing, therapeutic, or just luxurious. For my money Hot Stone Massage is the most luxurious massage you can get anywhere. Also known as Warm Stone Therapy, Therapeutic Stone Massage, River Stone Massage, or even Hot Rock Therapy, this full-body massage technique may be the ultimate in relaxation massage.
The name "Hot Stone Massage" comes from the use of smooth basalt stones that vary in size from about the size of a golf ball to the size of a computer mouse. When the stones are being used in massage they are heated well above body temperature then lubricated and applied to the client's body in long flowing massage strokes. The penetrating heat of the stones and the pressure of the strokes softens connective tissues and fascia and radiates into your muscles causing stress, tension, and anxiety to melt away leaving you relaxed with enhanced feelings of well-being.
In addition to being very relaxing and almost sinfully luxurious, Hot Stone Massage also has a number of healthy benefits. Hot Stone Massage is great for reducing unhealthy stress, and improving the circulation of both blood and lymph. When combined with trigger point therapy or deep tissue techniques, Hot Stone Massage is great for relieving pain. Also, many people receiving Hot Stone Massage report sleeping more restfully for several days after receiving the massage!
Although many people think of Hot Stone Massage as a toasty treat on a cold day, Hot Stone Massage is great anytime! On a cool winter's day,Hot Stone Massage warms you through and through. On a hot summer day, Hot Stone Massage in a cool massage room is a great release to help you beat the heat.
I'm sure you'll love Hot Stone Massage from the first time you get one. Check with a massage therapist near you to get your Hot Stone Massage today.
