Hot Stones Massage
What To Expect In A Hot Stone Massage
As the temperatures outside get cooler you may find that your body is craving warmth. Why not try out a hot stone massage? If you’ve never had one, and you’re not quite sure what to expect, well you’re reading the perfect thing.
A hot stone massage is very similar to most standard massages, with one major exception. Well obviously it’s even more amazing, but the reason for that is In a hot stone massage your therapist will use smooth heated stones to perform the massage techniques, not just their hands and forearms. It’s kind of like being massaged by someone with intensely warm hands. But the great thing about the use of these stones, is that they allow the heat to penetrate much deeper into the muscle. This not only feels amazing, but also gives you the added benefit of a much deeper sense of relaxation and tension relief, both physically and emotionally.
It’s important to note that while hot stone massage can be very appealing to a variety of people, this technique isn’t for everyone. There are some additional contraindications specific to hot stone massage, including systemic inflammatory conditions, neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and any other condition or medication that inhibits your senses. The ability to give proper feedback on temperature is crucial, and any impairment in that ability makes a hot stone massage ill-advised.
While communication is always important in any massage, it’s especially important during a hot stone massage because of the heat factor. Let your therapist know if the stones are too hot or if you would like them to be a bit warmer. Oftentimes, if they feel a bit too warm to you, your therapist can either set them aside to cool for a minute, or they may simply move them slightly faster during the massage strokes so the temperature feels better to you. As the stones cool, leaving enough warmth to still feel wonderful, but cool enough to stay in one place for a while without burning, your therapist may choose to place them in strategic places, like in your hands, on your low back, under your neck, or on your stomach. The heat along with the slight weight of the stone can often provide an intense feeling of relief for the area.
While it may be cold outside, you can find one of the best ways to warm up and feel great at the same time with a hot stone massage. Book yours today!

Whiplash can come on immediately, one day, or weeks after an accident and you won’t know until you suddenly have unmanageable migraines, difficulty focusing on normal daily activities, or even a loss of appetite and struggle with sleep. There are so many of us who go, “I’m good” and head back to work when the vehicle is still the shop. We think our body is “just fine,” but soon discover that’s not the case. Any amount of pressure applied to your car causes a rebound effect to your body leading to scar tissue trauma and spasms that slowly affect your ability to work and function as you did before your accident. No accident, even below 5 miles an hour, should be ignored. A full body review by a soft tissue therapist is necessary to make sure that you’re not having negative effects after your car accident. Most people will maybe have a chiropractor crack them here or there and close their auto claim or not even open it. But years, decades down the road, unresolved tissue issues can lead to problems like fibromyalgia. As a massage therapist who has practiced in caring for auto accident clients, I know that no matter how big or small your accident the micro spasms, tissue damage, and even mental trauma must be cared for.
