Hot stone massage is a good way to manage stress. Studies show that stress
is the number one root of a lot of diseases and disorders. Whether it's stress
from work, home or daily activities, the result is the same: too much stress
can lead to health problems. And because we can never run away from it, the
only way to deal with it is to manage stress efficiently. A hot stone massage offers
some relaxing time for your mind and does wonders in releasing muscular
tension. Thus this is one of the best ways to relieve you of stress.
What are the
techniques used in hot stone massage?
Hot stone massage feels wonderful and is quite effective! The heat from the
stones warms the muscles and allows the strokes to work deeply with minimal effort.
The traditional stones have been smoothed in a river bed, though some
therapists have mentioned some beaches where they have found their stones. Hot
stone massage is great because the therapist uses the stones instead of his/her
body (fingers, hands, elbows) to press into the client. This saves the body
from the normal wear and tear that comes with massage.
What are the
precautions for elders?
At age 70, 75, 80, and beyond you can find this geriatric population
working out at the gym, walking for exercise, working, traveling, and keeping
themselves active. Rather, we should look at an individual’s condition. A client could be frail at any age. There is a large number of elders who travel
around the world at advanced ages, such as the upper 80s or 90s. Many of these elders receive hot stone
massage regularly and admit it is the massage that keeps them going.
What do Elders get
from hot stone massage?
Typically, a massage therapist allows the heated stones to rest on trigger
points in your body before beginning the actual massage. As the heat from the
stones penetrates into your deeper body tissues, your blood vessels open,
resulting in improved circulation. Poor circulation can lead to fatigue, which
tenses the muscles, and a buildup of fluid and lactic acid in the muscles. Increased
circulation delivers more oxygen to the muscles, which can help ease aches and
pains. Thus, hot stone massage relieves common elderly complaints such as joint
pains.
