The stones are a type of volcanic rock that retains heat. These smooth, flat, heated stones could be placed on your body along your spine, on your stomach, chest, face, palms, feet and toes. These stones provide heat therapy to the muscles, which can help reduce tension and pain. Cold stones are used after hot stones to soothe the skin.
Heat is usually recommended as a way to ease muscle tension and pain. It increases blood flow to the affected area. Using heat on muscle before massaging the area can make those knots easier to soothe.
Hot stone massage also helps you reduce stress and anxiety. Pressure on the body releases endorphins, which help you manage pain, and put you in a better mood.
Moreover, studies have shown that hot stone massage can improve sleep quality. Massage is thought to help you enjoy more restorative sleep.
