A hot stone massage combines the therapeutic benefits of heat and massage to relieve muscle pain and tension. Heat is commonly used to ease sore muscles by increasing blood flow to targeted areas, which promotes faster healing.
This treatment is ideal if relaxation is your main goal. It uses the same soothing strokes as a Swedish massage, but with heated stones instead of hands. The warmth of the stones allows the therapist to apply deeper pressure more quickly, enhancing the overall experience.
How Does A Hot Stone Massage Work?
A hot stone massage is a therapeutic treatment designed to promote relaxation and relieve muscle tension. Smooth, flat stones are heated and gently placed on specific areas of the body to help ease tight muscles and soothe soft tissue damage.
Hot Stone vs Deep Tissue Massage
While deep tissue massage targets chronic pain by releasing deep muscle knots, hot stone massage focuses on improving circulation and relaxing tight muscles through heat and gentle pressure.
