Return To Massage Article Archive   Hot Stone Massage By Lydia Hernandez The name 'Hot Stone Massage' comes from the use of smooth basalt stones that vary in size from about the size of a golf ball to the size of a computer mouse. When the stones are being used in massage they are heated well above body temperature then lubricated and applied to the clients body in long flowing massage strokes. The penetrating heat of the stones and the pressure of the strokes softens connective tissues and fascia and radiates into your muscles causing stress, tension, and anxiety to melt away leaving you relaxed with enhanced feelings of well-being. In addition to being very relaxing and almost sinfully luxurious, Hot Stone Massage also has a number of healthy benefits. Hot Stone Massage is great for reducing unhealthy stress, and improving the circulation of both blood and lymph. When combined with trigger point therapy or deep tissue techniques, Hot Stone Massage is great for relieving pain. Also, many people receiving Hot Stone Massage report sleeping more restfully for several days after receiving the massage! Although many people think of Hot Stone Massage as a toasty treat on a cold day, Hot Stone Massage is great anytime! On a cool winters day,Hot Stone Massage warms you through and through. On a hot summer day, Hot Stone Massage in a cool massage room is a great release to help you beat the heat. Im sure youll love Hot Stone Massage from the first time you get one.
