Many men and women seek to have a massage performed for many different reasons. Everyone knows that a massage equals relaxation and relief from any aches or pains that you are feeling. A hot stone massage is a different type of massage that allows clients to relax and fall deep into a state of relaxation. A hot stone massage is not your traditional massage and if you have never had one performed, you should consider getting one done. What Is It? A hot stone massage is a type of massage technique that is performed using hot stones. The stones are made from river rocks, which are smooth on both sides. Clients never have to worry about receiving any cuts or scrapes from the rocks themselves. The rocks are heated up in a hot bath, but are never too hot to scald the body or provide discomfort. Once ready, the massage therapist will place the stones on certain key points all over the body. The stones will be left there to help get your blood circulating and flowing. After a short period, your massage therapist will begin to massage your body and may even use the rocks to aid in the massage. Benefits to the Client A hot stone massage benefits clients in many different ways. One of the greatest benefits includes relaxation. The heat from the stones helps calm your body and release any tension that is in your muscles. As your muscles begin to relax, your massage therapist can actually reach the deeper tissues and muscles underneath the first layer of skin. Hot stone massages are also known to help relieve conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and arthritis. The increased blood flow helps to reduce inflammation and irritation that are associated with these conditions. In addition, clients can receive relief from insomnia, depression, muscle spasms, and reduced mobility.

Massage therapy is a great way to simply relieve your stress as well and help your body to relax. The comforting atmosphere and relaxing music will sweep you away and leave you feeling refreshed and renewed.
