Hot Stone Therapy is a luxurious treatment which involves laying hots tones on the body and using them for massage to deal with deep-seated issues. The heat helps address deep-seated aches, lesions, injuries, chronic problems, and more. It is also a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable treatment.
The stones – mostly basalt ones – get heated in a pot of water, then quickly cooled down to a comfortable for the body temperature, and laid on various areas – mostly the back and legs.
The warmth of the stones is incredibly comforting and relaxing, both physically and mentally. They are also used to massage the body all over, and this enables a therapist to reach the areas where stones cannot be laid.
Hot stones have been used to address all sorts of problems for thousands of years. There are records of Ancient Egyptians and Chinese using hot stones in medicinal procedures. Northern cultures of Scandinavia and Russia have been using hot stones for centuries to facilitate sweating, removal of toxins, and to strengthen health. American Indians have been using hot stones in their healing and spiritual rituals for centuries.
The use of hot stones for treatments in the West was re-introduced in the 90s and has become a very popular and much sought after treatment. The therapy is used and enjoyed by everyone, from professional sports people to anyone who is in need of pampering, relaxation and healing.
