Hot Stone Massage

Muscle Release Hot Stones is a technique to increase the outcome of massage using heat and the stones as a tool to dig deeper into the muscles.

The heat will increase the blood flow and decrease the parasympathetic response (decrease pain sensation during massage), it will also help aid elasticity in the muscles decreasing the chance for injury, increase ROM (Range of Motion), and decrease DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). Once the heat dissipates from the stones, we then use the stones as a tool to increase our pressure and get into deep trigger points. This technique is very efficient in relieving tight muscles and decreasing pain during and after massage.

How It Works

Hot Stone Massage involves the placement of smooth, heated stones on specific parts of the body to enhance deep relaxation and stress relief. The warmth from the stones penetrates deeply into muscles, easing tension and promoting circulation. Therapists may also use the stones as an extension of their hands to massage and release tight muscles. This method combines the therapeutic benefits of heat with traditional massage techniques, offering a unique, soothing experience that enhances physical and mental well-being.
