Hot Stone Massage applies the same techniques as a regular massage, but warm stones are placed on specific parts of the body to enhance both the therapy and the general relaxation. The stones can also be used to massage the body, allowing deeper access to the muscles without applying additional pressure.
This form of massage can be beneficial in many ways, including helping with sleep issues, muscle tension, joint flexibility, stress and pain reduction.
This treatment is not suitable during pregnancy or for those with diabetes, acute injuries, inflamed rheumatoid arthritis, nerve damage, heart disease, sunburn, varicose veins, broken skin, deep bruising and anything that causes sensitivity to heat (skin conditions, allergies, medication, etc).
