Hot stone massage is a variation on classic massage therapy that follows the same principles of Swedish Massage with the addition of heated stones.  Hot stone massage is a natural therapy in which warmed stones are positioned on parts of the body to maximize the therapeutic benefit.  The stones used are typically river rocks or other very smooth-surfaced stones made of basalt. These stones are heated in sanitizing water before use.  The high iron content in basalt helps the stones retain heat during the massage. Hot stone massages are very beneficial on both physical and psychological levels.Incorporating hot stones into a full body massage provides a very healing and effective experience. Hot stone massage therapy eases muscle stiffness, relieves pain, increases circulation, and reduces stress. The hot stones will also promote deep relaxation.

Muscle Relaxation
The heat from the stones helps your muscles relax, allowing the massage therapist to manipulate your deep tissues more effectively. Overly tense muscles can hinder the massage procedure, so if your muscles are extremely tight or stiff, the heated stones may provide the extra relaxation you need for the massage to be beneficial in releasing tension and easing sore muscles.

Pain Relief
While all types of massage can help relieve pain caused by tense muscles, stiff joints or injuries, a hot stone massage may provide greater relief due to the intense nature of the massage. Because the hot stones allow the massage therapist to penetrate deeper, you may find that a hot stone massage leaves you feeling physically better than a Swedish or deep-tissue massage that does not incorporate heat. It is important to let your massage therapist know if you feel that the heat from the stones is too much or that the pressure being used is too intense.

Improved Circulation
As the heat from the stones penetrates into your deeper body tissues, your blood vessels open, resulting in improved circulation. Poor circulation can lead to fatigue, which tenses the muscles, and a buildup of fluid and lactic acid in the muscles. Increased circulation delivers more oxygen to the muscles, which helps ease aches and pains.

Reduces Stress
Massage therapy can result in mental benefits as well as physical ones in many people. You may find that the relaxation from a hot stone massage helps ease some of your mental stress and tension. A hot stone massage may also help you combat some of the symptoms of anxiety disorders and depression.
