About Hot Stone Massage

Hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy that uses smooth, heated stones to provide a relaxing and warming effect to a therapeutic massage. The therapist will typically hold a heated stone in each hand while applying various massage techniques such as long gliding strokes, vibration, friction, deep tissue techniques, or trigger point therapy. Using the heated stones as a tool in this way enables the client to benefit from the physiological effects of pressure and heat.
