Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone Massage is a therapeutic technique where heated stones, usually made of basalt, are placed on specific points on the body or used to massage the body. The heat from the stones helps to relax muscles, increase blood flow, and ease physical and mental stress. The stones are typically heated in water between 130 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit and are often coated in oil to allow smooth movement over the skin. This technique is often combined with other forms of massage, such as Swedish or deep tissue massage. Hot Stone Massage is commonly used in spas and wellness centers, and it’s particularly beneficial for relieving muscle tension, promoting relaxation, and improving circulation.
