Thermotherapy is widely used to do
therapeutic massage without using pressure. It is usually done to provide
immediate relief and healing effects. Some thermotherapy can be so expensive
because of the devises being used in doing the sessions that’s why an
alternative was invented. Hot stone massage is a type of thermotherapy which
uses stones instead of expensive and bulky equipment. Hot stone massage was
also determined to be safer than other thermotherapy procedure because of the
stones regular heat capacity which cannot harm human tissue. Hot stone massage
is also cheap because it only uses rocks from rivers or any smooth-surfaced
rocks. Hot stone massage is not only beneficial physical, but it can also help
improve psychological well-being.
Muscle relaxation can be achieved
by hot stone massage. The heat from the stone relaxes the muscle and allows
proper blood flow. By improving blood circulation, and muscle movement, bodily
stresses are also alleviated. Hot stone massage can also be a good warm up
massage for an overly stressed or stiff muscle.
Hot stone massage can also address
pain relief. The good thing about hot stone massage is that the therapist can
go deeper into your muscles to address deeper muscle tensions. Since the
massage can penetrate through deeper muscle groups, sometimes, people find it
more relaxing and more comforting to undergo a hot stone massage than a Swedish
or other deep-tissue massage. In dealing with extreme pain, it is important to
monitor and tell your therapist if the heat is still good for you. Too much heat
can cause further damage to your muscles and can cause graver discomfort.
As a warm-up massage, therapists
use hot stone massage to activate trigger points and promote good circulation.
It does not only promote good blood circulation but it also promotes
circulation of oxygen and other necessary nutrients and components in your
body. Since the heat from the stones can penetrate through deep tissues, blood
vessels may be relaxed and the circulation will be improved. Fatigue, muscle
tension, lactic acid and fat build up can be addressed by hot stone massage.
Ultimately, mental stress and
tension can be alleviated by hot stone massage—or any type of massage, in fact.
It may be able to combat anxiety and symptoms of depressions. It is just
important to consult experts before undergoing any session.
