This deeply relaxing and beneficial therapy uses basalt stones from Mexico that are heated to 50 Degrees Celcius. As the therapist heats their hands, he/she gradually adds heat to the client's body incorporating holistic massage and movements with the stones. Light or deep pressure can be used, depending on problem areas and the wishes of the client. A full body massage includes upper and lower back, legs, feet, stomach, arms, hands, face and head. When an area of the body has been treated the therapist carefully places the stones on the body over a towel, to continue the healing process from the stones.
Other benefits include decrease in muscle spasm, increase in muscle tone and a deep feeling of relaxation and calm. Many clients have felt the heat from the stones for hours and days after a treatment.
The Ultimate Back Fix is a wonderful massage to help tired and aching backs. Starting with a half an hour of Hot Stone Massage on the back, neck and shoulders to open, release and relax the muscles. It is then followed by half an hour deep tissue to loosen the knots and tense muscles and finishes finally with hot stones, again, to relax and calm the patient.
Hot Stone Massage can also be combined with Reflexology or Indian Head Massage in the same treatment.
