Hot Stones Massage is a relaxation massage where hot stones are first placed all over the body to preheat the tissue and sedate the individual. Then the stones are often basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well.The heat helps tight muscles release. The therapist places a stone in each hand and performs a Swedish type of massage with them. Sometimes the stones can be used to apply more pressure if needed.
It is a very relaxing and deeply soothing form of massage. particolarly in those winter days.....and holds the same health benefits as a Swedish or relaxation massage.
