Description

The therapist places hot stones on the client and while the stones are delivering concentrated centers of heat, the therapist is simultaneously massaging the client with oiled, heated stones held in the palm of the hand with firm strokes along the muscles of the legs, arms, and torso areas. The heat from the stones relaxes muscles, increase the blood flow to the area being worked on which further accelerates the healing process. The increase in circulation and the relaxation of the muscles also allows the therapist to work into deeper muscles of the body. The client can request light, medium or deep pressure.
