Hot stone massage therapy is a type of massage that uses heated stones to help relax and soothe the muscles. During a hot stone massage, smooth, flat stones, typically made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock, are heated in water and then placed on specific areas of the body, such as the back, legs, or hands. The heat from the stones helps to warm and loosen tight muscles, allowing the massage therapist to apply deeper pressure and work more effectively on areas of tension.

The massage therapist may also hold the heated stones in their hands and use them to massage the body. The combination of heat and massage can help to increase blood flow, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.

Hot stone massage is often used to treat muscle pain and tension, as well as anxiety, depression, and insomnia. The warmth of the stones is believed to help ease muscle stiffness and promote a sense of calm and wellbeing.

Before the massage begins, the client will typically lie down on a massage table and the therapist will place the heated stones on various points on the body. The stones may also be used as a tool to apply pressure and massage the muscles. The therapist will adjust the temperature of the stones as needed to ensure that they are comfortable for the client.

Hot stone massage therapy is generally safe for most people, but individuals with certain medical conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, should consult with their healthcare provider before receiving a hot stone massage.
