Hot stone massage is a type of massage that involves the use of smooth, heated stones. The therapist uses these stones in the palms of their hands to massage the body. The penetrating heat and weight of the stones warm and relax tense muscles so the therapist can work deeper and more efficiently. How Does It Differ From Other Types of Massage?

Most people find the warmth of the hot stones to be comforting and deeply relaxing. Hot stone massage is suited to people who tend to feel chilly. It’s also suited for people who have muscle tension but prefer a lighter massage. The heat relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist work the muscles using lighter pressure.
