During a hot stone massage, the same techniques of a normal massage are applied. However, during the treatment hot stones are placed on specific parts of the body to relax muscles in order to be worked on.
The use of hot stones allows the therapist to give a deep, penetrating massage without putting excessive stress on his or her body.
Additionally, the stones will heat the skin, open the pores, and prepare one’s skin to better absorb massage oils.
Cold stones are excellent because they promote circulation and act as a powerful decongestant for the body.
One of the benefits of cold stone massage is that it can provide a deep release of tension, as well as a reduction of swelling and inflammation due to scar tissue, trauma or injuries to muscles.
By promoting circulation, a cold stone treatment can ease inflamed tissues, decrease muscle spasms, and can reduce swelling or fluid build-up.
