Hot Stone Massage – 90 Minutes

Hot stone massage is a therapeutic technique that involves the use of heated stones placed on specific areas of the body and incorporated into the massage strokes. The heat from the stones helps to relax muscles, alleviate tension, and promote a sense of deep relaxation. It can also improve circulation and relieve pain, making it a popular choice for stress relief and overall wellness.

Here are the steps to do a hot stone massage:

1. Prepare the stones: Heat smooth, flat stones in water to a comfortable temperature, typically around 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit (49-54 degrees Celsius).
2. Prepare the recipient: Have the recipient lie down on a massage table, and cover them with a sheet or towel, exposing only the area to be massaged.
3. Apply oil: Apply massage oil or lotion to the skin to provide lubrication and help the stones glide smoothly.
4. Place the stones: Place the heated stones on specific points of the body, such as along the spine, in the palms of the hands, or between the toes, to warm and relax the muscles.
5. Massage with stones: Use the heated stones to massage the recipient’s body using long, flowing strokes and gentle pressure. You can also incorporate techniques like kneading, tapping, and circular motions.
6. Adjust temperature: Check the temperature of the stones periodically to ensure they remain comfortable for the recipient. Replace any stones that have cooled with freshly heated ones.
7. Finish with relaxation: Once the massage is complete, we will remove the stones and allow you to rest and relax for a few moments before getting up.

Hot stone massage provides deep relaxation and muscle tension relief, leaving the recipient feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.
