A Warm Stone Massage, or Hot Stone Massage, involves applying
water-heated basalt stones of varying sizes to key points
on the body. These give a deep massage and create sensations
of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles,
allowing greater manipulation than with regular massage.
During a Warm Stone Massage, smooth, glossy basalt river
stones are heated and placed along the side of your spine
to warm your muscles and relax them. Then, several warmed
stones are used to massage your body, enhancing the feeling
of relaxation and inducing inner calm.
The hot stones expand the blood vessels, pushing blood and
unwanted waste materials through the body. This has a calming
effect on the nervous system. A deep melting sensation permeates
through your body as it soaks up the delicious heat, and
you feel a sense of serenity.
