HOT STONE

Hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy that involves the use of heated smooth, flat stones placed on specific points on the body. The stones are typically made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat well.

During a hot stone massage, the therapist may also use the stones as massage tools, applying pressure and gliding them along the muscles to promote relaxation and release tension. The heat from the stones is believed to help increase blood flow, relieve muscle stiffness, and promote a sense of deep relaxation.

Hot stone massage is often used as a form of complementary therapy for various conditions, including back pain, arthritis, and poor circulation. It is also a popular spa treatment for people looking to relax and unwind.
