A hot stone massage is a perfect way to relax, undergoing
deep exfoliation, it will leave your body feeling totally calm and rejuvenated. If you
have had a hard day, want to plan a girls spa weekend, a couples retreat or
just want to try something different, then a hot stone massage is definitely for you. Here's what a hot stone massage entails.
Smooth heated stones are placed on the body or
used in the massage process, either as an extension of their own hands, or by placing them on the body while they massage other parts of the body. The heat can be both deeply relaxing and help warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work more deeply and quickly.
The massage technique has been used throughout the ages, and
stems from Native America. Hot stones were originally used by the Native
Americans as a way to treat aching muscles. As stones retain their heat for
quite a while, they would put them on the fire and would massage each other as
they believed the process had healing properties. This technique was trademarked years later by a woman native
to Arizona - Mary Nelson, making it an official form of treatment. From this
word soon spread and now all types and variations of this massage are widely available.
Be sure to speak up if the stones are too warm or the pressure too intense. And you can always ask them to stop using the stones if you don't like how it feels. If you like heat but not the stones, lava shells and steamed towels are another way to get heat into a massage. Here are the benefits of a hot stone massage.
