class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hot massage uses stones to provide relaxation and pain relief. These stones have flat and smooth surfaces and are made of <strong>basalt rock<\/strong>, a volcanic rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These stones are specially used for stone massage because of their <em>ability to retain heat<\/em>. Combined with the Swedish massage technique, hot body massage is known for its many potential benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_is_hot_stone_massage_done\"><\/span>How is Hot Stone Massage Done?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The technique of hot stone massage developed over time. Here is how it is done nowadays:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"step_one_heating_the_stone\"><\/span>Step One: Heating the Stone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Massage stones are volcanic basalt stones coming from the beaches of Mexico and Chile. The first step is the heating of these stones. Stones used in massage therapy have variable sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The massage therapist uses a water heater to heat these stones. The ideal temperature is between <strong>130-145 degrees Fahrenheit<\/strong>. This temperature is ideal for the stones as it is not too cold or too hot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"step_two_placing_the_stones\"><\/span>Step Two: Placing the Stones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After heating the stones, the next step of hot massage is the placement of these stones. The target can be different for every other person. Some of the preferable areas for the placement of stone include your <strong>hands<\/strong>, <strong>feet<\/strong>, <strong>back<\/strong>, <strong>stomach, chest,<\/strong> and <strong>face<\/strong>. Stone size also varies depending on the area in which the stone is being placed. Before stone placement, a layer of oil is sometimes applied.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"step_three_massaging\"><\/span>Step Three: Massaging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After the placement of different-sized stones in different areas, therapists usually put pressure through stones and massage using different Swedish massage techniques. Some of the common massaging techniques include strokes, vibration, kneading, tapping, and <strong>circular movements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the massage, therapists add pressure on specific points. One by one, all the areas of your body will be massaged and you will feel relaxed after the completion of the hot massage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Some therapists also use cold stones immediately after hot stone therapy to maximize the benefits.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"hot_body_massage_benefits\"><\/span>Hot Body Massage Benefits&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now comes the question: what has made this practice so popular?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, the answer lies in the benefits of hot body massage. Just like any other massage type, there are benefits associated with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is what a hot stone massage is good for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-_improves_sleep_quality\"><\/span>1- Improves Sleep Quality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the most common benefits of hot massage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can suffer from sleep troubles due to many reasons.

Sometimes, muscle tension can have a physiological impact on stress. So, hot body massage helps you here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Massaging the hot stones on the body areas makes the heat penetrate these tissues improving blood flow. Enhanced blood flow ultimately helps to relieve muscle tension and eases muscle spasms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-_provides_pain_relief\"><\/span>3- Provides Pain Relief<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next in the list of hot body massage benefits comes its role in pain relief.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are already aware of the use of heat therapy for pain relief.
