Hot stone massage originates with the exquisite life science of Ayurveda, from ancient India,The Chinese later adopted the practice and used it to treat disease.In Hawaii, they practiced hot stone massage with volcanic rock! Through the ages, people have found the reassuring weight of warm stones to be soothing and effective at relieving stress and relaxing the muscles.
The stones are a tool, an extension of the therapist’s touch, and many people find this a fascinating and effective form of massage.Your massage therapist will use both long strokes and quick, gentle tapping to relieve pressure and relax muscles.Hot stone massage can speed healing after an operation, can help people fall asleep faster and more deeply, and can help reduce auto-immune diseases like fibromyalgia, or rheumatoid arthritis.
Hot stone massage is truly grounding: your massage therapist places warm rocks on your body! Rocks are some of the oldest structures on Earth: true specimens of Earth history and geology, and the weight and feel of smooth stone on the skin is wonderful.
