Heat helps to relax muscles, and when incorporating hot stone therapy into your therapeutic massage session you will experience increased pain relief, relaxation and tension release. Hot, smooth stones, are utilized to weigh down your sore or tender muscles. They are then used to roll over your aching muscles, gently caressing them providing a relaxing and invigorating massage.
By adding the element of heat to your therapeutic massage, the tension in your back and shoulder muscles can be worked more effectively. Additionally, the use of hot stones helps to expand blood vessels, encouraging blood flow throughout the body. In some instances the sedative effects of the hot stones not only relieve chronic pain and reduce stress, but also promote deep relaxation.
