How does Hot Stone Massage Work?
Muscles are pretreated with the heated stones to allow the therapist to more easily perform deep tissue manipulations. During the session the stones are placed at key focal points of the body such as the hands, abdomen, upper, and lower back allowing for deep muscle relaxation. The direct heat of the stones sends the body into a relaxed state allowing for an almost immediate relaxation of the tense muscles.
