Hot
stone massage was first introduced to the North American Raise by the
Egyptians in the early 90’s and is practiced since then. The hot stone
massage follows the same principle that of the Swedish massage but has
an additional treatment for it. The heated stones are believed to work
as to promote the opening of the body’s energy pathways and increase
relaxation.
There are several
varieties of stones used in hot stone massage. There are 54 stones all
in all and are used as follows: basalt stones are used as the heated
stones; the chalky gray colored stones turn to dark when oil is applied.
Marble is used as the cold stones to neutralize the temperature that is
put onto your body. The technique used in hot stone massage is similar
with the Swedish massage, only the oil covered stones are rubbed onto
the back and the firmness of the stones promotes the benefits of the
massage by the heat of the stones penetrating deep into the muscles and
tissues and giving a soothing feeling without any discomfort.
Massage
centers and even hospitals promote hot stone massage due to its
benefits. Let’s start with the improvement of the body’s circulation. It
is true that when the blood is in good flow, the body functions at its
