What is Hot Stone Massage Therapy?

Hot stone massage therapy is a form of massage that involves the use of smooth, heated stones that the massage therapist places on specific parts of the body.

The stones are usually made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat well.

During the massage, these hot stones may be left in place or used as an extension of the therapist’s hands to massage muscles.

Benefits of Hot Stone Massage Therapy

Muscle

Relaxation:

The warmth from the heated jade stones helps to relax muscles deeply and more quickly than a standard massage, promoting a sense of deep relaxation and peace.

Pain

Relief:

The deep heat of the hot stones improves blood flow to the area being worked on, which can reduce muscle spasms and alleviate pain. Conditions such as chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and rheumatic and arthritic conditions may see symptom relief from this type of therapy.

Improved

Circulation:

The placement of the heated stones on the body expands blood vessels, which improves circulation. Enhanced circulation means more oxygen and nutrients are supplied to the muscles, which helps with healing and relaxation.

Stress

Reduction:

Hot stone massage is particularly effective at promoting relaxation and reducing stress and anxiety. The soothing warmth is comforting and can help release endorphins—neurochemicals that create a sense of well-being.

Enhanced

Immune System:

By reducing stress and improving overall circulation, hot stone massage can help strengthen the immune system, which is better able to fight off pathogens and heal from illness more quickly.

Improved

Sleep:

The relaxation effects of hot stone massage therapy can also help improve sleep, making it beneficial for those suffering from insomnia or restless sleep patterns.
