What is Hot Stone Massage?
Hot Stone Massage is a therapeutic treatment using smooth, heated stones placed on specific points of the body. The heat penetrates deep into muscles, enhancing blood flow and relaxing tight areas. Sometimes cold stones are used after hot stones to soothe the skin and blood vessels.
During a session, stones may be placed:
-
Along the spine
-
On the stomach, chest, and face
-
On palms, feet, and toes
Therapists combine stone placement with professional massage techniques, including long strokes, circular movements, vibration, knocking, and kneading, to maximize the healing and relaxation benefits
