Treatments usually use a combination of both hot and cold stones. Thermotherapy (the use of hot applications) is combined with cryotherapy (the use of cold applications) to provide a treatment that improves circulation and detoxifies the system.
Flat stones of varying sizes are placed in a special purpose built stone heater and gently warmed in water. Once the required temperature is reached, the stones are applied to specific points on the body, or held by the massage therapist and used to work the muscles. Sometimes beneficial oils are used to enhance the treatment experience.
This type of massage is particularly useful in reducing muscle pain for people who have sports injuries or are suffering from painful conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.
The warmth of the hot stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system. Hot stone treatment is suited for people who have muscle tension, but prefer a lighter massage; the warmth of the stones does all the work relaxing those tight and tense muscular fibres.
