Hot Stone Massage gives a complete therapeutic treatment; relaxing the mind, releasing tension, and revitalizing the body and bringing a enhanced flow of vital energy. Originating from Japan, it was brought to the UK by Mary Nelson in 1993 and has increased in popularity over the years.
The application of hot, smooth, basalt rocks, oils and combined with manual massage, provides a deeply relaxing, therapeutic experience. The hot stones are placed on specific points on your body as well as being moved around in smooth massaging strokes. The localized heat and weight of the stones warm and relax muscles, allowing the massage therapist to apply deeper pressure to those areas without causing discomfort.
Benefits of Hot Stone Massage on the Human Body
Penetration of the heat from the stones may reach up to 1.5” into the superficial layer of muscle, much deeper than a traditional massage.
- Increases heart rate, respiration and vasodilation of capillaries
- Promote the release of tension in connective tissue
- Increases circulation and elimination of waste products – waste products flushed and organs cleansed
- Increased action of leukocytes (fights infections)
- Promotes relaxation
- Improvement in circulation and lymphatic function
- Increased metabolism – Optimised circulation means organs and systems can function more effectively; therefore, the rate at which the body processes foods, toxins and energy is also improved
- Reduced Muscle Spasticity – heat application relaxes muscle to the extent that we can work further/deeper with muscle fibre. If muscle relaxes and recovers, repair can take place more efficiently
- Warming, relaxing, gently initiates the parasympathetic system (slows down heart rate, relax inner organs, increase blood flow, boosts immune and lymphatic system), slows down respiration
- Grounding, soothing, promotes feelings of bliss.
- Release of tension, anxiety and stress.
