Hot Stone Therapy

Hot Stone Therapy

Hot stone therapy is used to help a patient relax and ease tense muscles and damaged soft tissues throughout the body. During a hot stone massage, smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific parts of your body. The stones are usually made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat. The basalt stones are placed in different parts of the body. These igneous stones have high heat retaining abilities ideal for therapeutic use. Hot stone therapy melts away tensions, eases muscle stiffness, increases circulation and helps enhance metabolism.
