Similar to Swedish Massage, with the same smooth, gliding motions, the purpose of this massage is to help you relax. When you think of a day at a spa, this is the massage you imagine for yourself. With this massage style, I move at a slower pace and use light pressure because I am not concerned with working out adhesions or knots in the muscles, as I am with other styles, so I don't need to push you toward your pain limits in order to get your muscles to release tension.
My primary emphasis is to help your body relax. People often fall asleep during this massage. However this is not just a "feel good" massage, there are substantial benefits, including calming of the nervous system, improved blood circulation and stimulation of the lymphatic system to improve waste elimination. Forget the old heating pad, Hot Stone Massage is the ultimate in heat therapy.
This method is a variation on classic massage therapy but instead of touch being applied by the therapists' hands, smooth, hot rocks are placed on the body.
