Hot Stone Massage
Have you ever tried a hot stone massage? If not, it's time to schedule one.
At first, it might seem weird to have warm, flat stones placed in specific locations on your body. But these are special stones with a purpose.
Massage therapists typically use Basalt river rocks. These rocks are smooth and hold heat well.
Using a stone heater, your therapist heats the stones to temperatures between 110 and 130° Fahrenheit. This is the ideal temperature range to warm your muscles without burning skin.
Stones sit along your spine, on your chest, feet, palms, and even your face.
After the stones heat your muscles, your therapist begins the massage. Taking advantage of warm muscles helps improve the benefits of hot rock massage.
