Improving Your Well-Being with Hot Stone Massage Therapy

 You will notice that the hot stone massage therapist will position the flat, even and heated stones on certain body points. The heat coming from these stones infiltrates deep down the tissues and muscles and eliminates negative energy and reinstates the natural alignment of mind, body, and soul.

 
Description of the stones

The volcanic basalt stones are warmed to a temperature of fifty degrees Celsius or one hundred twenty to one hundred thirty degrees Fahrenheit in water. These heated stones are not rough and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. And in order to prevent bacterial contamination, the stones are kept disinfected and sanitized.

 
Basalt stones are abundant with iron and have the ability to take in and preserve heat that helps in relieving tension and stress in the muscles as well as improve blood circulation.

 
Where are the heated stones positioned?

At first, the therapist will ask you to hold and feel the warmness of the stones before placing them to your body to ensure that they are not too warm. The center points aimed by the hot stone massage are situated in the hands, toes and at the back of the trunk. The therapist will massage the body with stones by way of applying the correct pressure. The momentary placement of hot rocks on the body areas eases the muscles.
