Hot & Cold Stone Massage - 90 minutes
-
Hot Stone Massage:
- Heat Therapy: Hot stone massage involves placing smooth, heated stones on specific points of the body. The heat helps to relax muscles and increase blood flow to the treated areas.
- Relaxation: The warmth of the stones can induce a deep sense of relaxation, reducing stress and anxiety.
- Pain Relief: It can help alleviate muscle tension and pain, making it beneficial for conditions like back pain.
- Improved Circulation: By dilating blood vessels, hot stone massage can promote better circulation.
-
Cold Stone Massage:
- Cold Therapy: Cold stone massage uses smooth, chilled stones. The cold temperature constricts blood vessels, which can help reduce inflammation and swelling.
- Pain Relief: It's often used to soothe sore or inflamed muscles, making it useful for sports injuries.
- Refreshment: The cool sensation of the stones can be invigorating and energizing.
Both types of stone massages can be beneficial, but they are typically chosen based on individual needs and preferences. Hot stone massage is more commonly associated with relaxation, while cold stone massage is often used for targeted pain relief and reducing inflammation. It's a good idea to discuss your specific concerns and preferences with a trained massage therapist to determine which type of stone massage is most suitable for you.
