Too little pressure won’t give you the therapeutic benefit you are seeking, and too much could have a negative effect on your muscle tissue. You’re too hot or too cold. Changing the temperature or adding/removing a blanket will make a worlds difference in how comfortable you are and how relaxed you can become.

Hot Stone Massage involves the application of water-heated basalt stones of varying sizes to key points of the body, giving a deep massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. This process dates back 5000 years to the Indian and Mayan cultures. Therapists used “tools” provided from the earth to better heal and calm; their hands are only used for manipulation and some healing. Stones have been used in a variety of ways throughout the years, including saunas, hot baths, sweat lodges and medicine wheels.
