Indulge in the ultimate relaxation with our Hot Stone Massage, a luxurious and soothing experience at Flow Beauty Lab.
This specialized massage therapy involves the use of smooth, heated stones strategically placed on your body to promote deep relaxation and alleviate tension.
Fact #1 – What is hot stone massage?
A hot stone massage is a therapeutic massage technique that involves the use of smooth, heated stones. These stones are typically made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock known for its ability to retain heat.
The stones are heated in water and then strategically placed on specific areas of the body or used by the massage therapist as an extension of their hands.
Fact #2 – How is the treatment?
During a hot stone massage, our therapist applies oil to your body and use the heated stones to perform various massage strokes.
The stones can be placed along your spine, on your palms, between your toes, or even on your face to enhance the overall experience.
The heat from the stones helps to relax and warm the muscles, allowing the therapist to access deeper layers of muscle tissue.
Fact #3 – The benefits of a hot stone massage
Muscle Relaxation: The heat from the stones helps to relax muscles, making it easier for the therapist to manipulate and work on tense areas.
Improved Circulation: The warmth of the stones promotes better blood flow, which can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Stress Reduction: The soothing warmth of the stones, combined with the therapeutic touch of the massage, creates a deeply relaxing experience that can help alleviate stress and anxiety.
Pain Relief: Hot stone massage is often used to address chronic pain conditions, such as arthritis or muscle pain, providing relief and comfort.
Enhanced Well-Being: The combination of heat and massage induces a sense of overall well-being, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and balanced.
Fact #4 – Flow tip
It’s important to communicate with your massage therapist during the session. Let them know if the stones are too hot or if you have any discomfort.
Hot stone massages are generally safe when performed by trained and experienced therapists, but they may not be suitable for everyone, especially individuals with certain medical conditions.
Always consult with your healthcare provider before trying a new massage therapy if you have concerns about its suitability for your health.
