Hot Stone Therapy
Hot Stone Massage is a style of massage
therapy in which water-treated stones are placed
at specific sites on the client's body to promote relaxation and to help open up the meradians (energy pathways).
Muscles are pretreated with the heated stones
to allow the therapist to more easily
perform deep tissue manipulations. Cool stones are sometimes used alternately with
hot stones. Massage oils are usually incorporated
into the massage treatment.
