Hot Stone Massage!!

A hot stone massage is a type of therapy that uses smooth, heated stones, usually made of basalt, to provide warmth and relax the muscles. During the treatment, the therapist places the hot stones on specific points along your body, known as acupressure points, to promote relaxation and relieve tension.

Additionally, the therapist may also use the stones as an extension of their hands, applying gentle pressure and gliding the stones along your muscles; this combination of heat and pressure helps to ease muscle stiffness, improve circulation, and calm the mind.

3. Boosted immune system
Improved circulation and lymphatic flow can help to strengthen the immune system, making you more resilient against illness and infection. That being said, hot stone massage isn;t always recommended for those who have weakened or suppressed immune systems - but we’ll get onto that further in the article.

4. Increased flexibility
By easing muscle tension and stiffness, hot stone massages can help to improve flexibility and range of motion, which can be helpful for those who are older, as well as those who participate in competitive sport or vigorous exercise on a regular basis.

5. Reduced inflammation
The heat and pressure applied during a hot stone massage can help to reduce inflammation in the body, which can be particularly beneficial for those suffering from conditions such as arthritis.
