Hot stone therapy is a specialty massage where the therapist uses smooth, heated stones as an extension of their own hands, or by placing them at key points on the body.
The heat can be both deeply relaxing and help warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work more deeply, and more quickly.
Hot stone treatments benefits include:
- Relieving muscle tension and pain
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- May help promote sleep
- May help relieve symptoms of autoimmune diseases
