What is Hot Stone massage?
If you're looking for a stress-relieving, relaxing, and deeply calming therapy, there's nothing better than a warm volcanic stone massage. If you have stiff muscles, limited mobility and body aches and pains, then this massage is for you.
Hot stone massage is a type of therapeutic treatment where heated volcanic stones are placed on specific body areas or used as a massaging tool with constant soothing pressure to achieve therapeutic benefits.
On the most important body energy area, the massage therapist first places gentle oils, and then the warm, smooth stones, which are actually hardened pieces of volcanic lava. They give you nice feeling and take away the cold and tension while the warmth of the earth in them penetrates into your body. The therapist then starts gently moving them to spread the pleasant sensation, relieve the muscle tension, improve your blood circulation and ease your body and mind.
Why hot volcanic stones?
The main purpose of hot volcanic stone massage is to dilate blood vessels and thus to increase blood flow and the movement of oxygen and nutrients in the body. This supports the function of the major systems: the central nervous, muscular and lymphatic systems. Increased circulation increases joint mobility by lengthening muscle fibers and connective tissue.
The size, shape and texture of the stones used are extremely important in achieving the desired results. The stones are carefully selected to be ideal for this type of body treatment. First of all, their surface should be very smooth and flat; secondly, they should be of ideal size and weight.
Basalt stones are used because they retain heat for a long time and release it slowly and evenly.
Ancient therapists claim that the special areas where the stones are placed control the energy flow of the body and when these special zones are recharged they can help restore balance to the body and soul. So take the chance to experience the healing benefits of this deeply therapeutic treatment and give some Chi to your body?
Where does this wonderful hot volcanic stone massage come from?
Hot volcanic stone massage is an ancient practice dating back thousands of years. From its beginning, the therapy involved the use of flat, heated stones (basalt stones) that can support the function of important organs in the body. The weight and heat from the hot stones slowly penetrate the soft tissues of the body in a way that cannot be achieved with a single massage alone.
The highly positive effect of this ancient therapy made professionals in recent years to think how to improve, modernize and use it as much as possible in spa treatments in order to achieve more relaxation and beauty for their clients.
Why to choose hot volcanic stone massage?
Stress, back pain, muscle pain, fibromyalgia, insomnia, depression or anxiety, poor blood circulation, stagnant lymph - all these problems can be relieved by a pleasant, relaxing and healing massage with warm volcanic stones.
Virtually everyone can benefit from the magical heat that helps relax muscles, even muscles such as those in the temples and jaws that contribute to headaches or teeth grinding when tight and tense.
A lot of tension, muscle knots or lactic acid build-up after exercise can also be relieved by the heat and increased blood flow. The reverse circulation will also provide more oxygen to the skin to improve its performance and appearance.
Professional volcanic stone massage is extremely effective
Volcanic stone massage has very good benefits in treating stiff and sore muscles. The main task of the hot stones is to relax the extremely tense muscles so that the therapist can provide a deeper and more relaxing massage without causing excessive pain.
The massage is suitable in all seasons but especially during the cold months
Warm volcanic massage is especially effective during cold weather as our bodies have to work harder to maintain homeostasis and a constant body temperature.
Hot stone massage and healing massage help the body use energy more efficiently, improving all processes and functions in the body. This has many benefits, including maintaining a healthy metabolism and immune system, which helps protect the body against infections that are prevalent in the cold months and supports overall general health.
Hot stone massage helps good sleep and releases stress
In addition, the specific placement of the stones during the massage provides release to specific targeted muscles and trigger points. As a result, hot stones combined with a good massage also help reduce stress and anxiety levels, improving sleep quality.
