A Hot Stone Massage relieves muscle pain

 

During the Hot Stone Massage, our massage therapists use volcanic stones which they heat and place in specific spots on your body, namely on pressure points situated along your meridians (energy pathways). This reinvigorates and re-energises you. First, the hot stones are positioned on either side of your spine, with a thin towel placed between your skin and the stones. Your legs and feet are then massaged extensively with hot stones, which is incredibly soothing and relaxing. Next, your back is massaged. After this, you turn over onto your back and hot stones are placed on your chakras or energy centres on your belly and chest and your legs and arms are massaged.

The warmth of the stones radiates deep into your body, so that any tension in your tissues and muscles is relieved. This makes it easier to loosen up stiff or tense muscles without having to use excess pressure.

What’s more, the warmth of the stones also improves your circulation, resulting in a more efficient removal of lactic acid and other waste products and faster supply of oxygen and nutrients. This accelerates your body’s recovery process, so that any muscle tension and pain melt away as it were.

Finally, the feeling of deep relaxation you experience during a Hot Stone Massage and improved circulation also promotes the production of endorphins. These are chemicals made by your body that act as natural painkillers.
