A hot stone massage is a type of therapy that uses smooth, heated stones, usually made of basalt, to provide warmth and relax the muscles. During the treatment, the therapist places the hot stones on specific points along your body, known as acupressure points, to promote relaxation and relieve tension.
Additionally, the therapist may also use the stones as an extension of their hands, applying gentle pressure and gliding the stones along your muscles; this combination of heat and pressure helps to ease muscle stiffness, improve circulation, and calm the mind.
The combination of heat and pressure in a hot stone massage helps to deeply relax the muscles, making it easier for the therapist to work on problem areas and provide relief from tension and stiffness.
