This type of massage uses heated stones to massage the body tissues allowing massage therapist to incorporate hydrotherapy techniques at the same time as the massage techniques. The heat generated from the stones relaxes muscles, increases localized blood flow, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, softens and stretches tendons and ligaments promoting overall physical and mental relaxation. It is not an aggressive therapy. The temperature of the stones is adaptable to individual needs which can be widely varied for each client.
