Hot Stone Therapy

Hot Stone Therapy

Hot stone therapy involves using heated stones to enhance the therapeutic benefits of a massage or body treatment. This practice adds a unique and soothing dimension to the experience by applying warm stones to specific body areas. The heat from the stones penetrates deep into the muscles, promoting relaxation, tension release, and an overall sense of calm.

Heated Stones

Smooth, flat stones, typically made of basalt, are heated to a comfortable temperature and strategically used to heat the practitioner’s hands and placed on the body. The stones retain heat well, ensuring a consistent and soothing warmth during the treatment.

Muscle Relaxation and Improved Circulation 

Applying hot stones to targeted muscle groups fosters profound muscle relaxation. The warmth boosts blood circulation, loosens tight muscles, and relieves tension, resulting in a more effective bodywork experience. This is especially beneficial for individuals with muscle stiffness or chronic tension. The heat from the stones dilates blood vessels, enhancing circulation. Improved blood flow supports the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues, promoting overall well-being.

Stress Reduction 

Hot stone therapy has a calming effect and creates a sense of comfort and relaxation, allowing individuals to unwind and experience a profound state of tranquility.
