What is Hot Stones therapy?
Hot stone therapy is a specialist massage that uses smooth, flat, heated basalt stones that are positioned along your spine, in the palms of your hands, along your legs and between the toes. Typically from river beds, basalt stones are used for massage as they have a rich iron content that retains heat. Cold marble stones are often used in the treatment to help aid with detoxing and healing the body.
How does Hot Stones therapy work?
The hallmark of hot stone massage is the use of the heated stones. Basalt river rocks are typically used because they are smooth (from the river's current) and retain heat well.
