hot stone massage

Hot stone massage involves placing smooth, heated stones on specific points of the body or using them to massage muscles. The heat penetrates deep into muscles, promoting relaxation, easing tension, and improving circulation. The stones are typically made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat well. This therapy can reduce stress, alleviate muscle pain, and enhance overall well-being. It is often combined with traditional massage techniques for a soothing, therapeutic experience that promotes both physical and mental relaxation.
