What to expect during Hot Stone Therapy
On your first Hot Stone Therapy session a detailed consultation will be carried out to make sure you get the most out of the treatment which is carried out in my Therapy room is Norfolk near Norwich. The Hot Stone Therapy will be fully explained to you and then you will lay face down on the massage table. The Hot Stones will then be placed on different parts of your body; this is done to allow the heat from the stones to be absorbed into the muscles of the body of where they have been placed. Hot Stones are then placed between your toes and 2 hot stones in the palms of your hands.
You will then be left for a while to relax and chill in my Therapy room in Norfolk. Warm massage oil will then be drizzled over your body and the massage will begin with use of the hot basalt stones. If you have any problems with muscular inflammation or muscle strains, then it may be beneficial to use the cold marble stones as well. The use of the Hot Basalt Stones and then the Cold Marble Stones has a hugely beneficial effect on the muscles. This process is then carried out on your front and finishes with a lovely soothing facial massage.
What are the benefits of Hot Stone Therapy?
The benefits of Hot Stone Therapy are that it can help boost the circulation and release stored tension which will in turn help you to relax. The stones can help recharge the energy levels and release unwanted toxins. The use of the Hot Stones allows you to experience a deeper massage than if just the hands and fingers were used on their own. The Hot Basalt Stones open up the blood vessels, allowing the blood flow to increase, the application of the Cold Marble Stones allows the blood vessels to contract which encourages the increase of lymphatic drainage around your body. This can encourage the problem area to heal quicker using the Hot and Cold stones.
Health conditions that may be of benefit from Hot Stone Therapy are rheumatic and arthritic conditions, muscular pain, poor circulation, stress and anxiety, insomnia and depression, fibromyalgia and multiple sclerosis.
Hot Stone Therapy
in Norfolk & Norwich Area
Hot Stone Therapy uses Basalt (volcanic rock) stones that have been smoothed naturally by lying on the river beds for many years. These stones are applied to key points on the body to warm up the muscles. The history of Hot Stone Therapy has ancient roots and the stones have been used since the beginning of time for divination, warmth, healing and protection.
The Japanese have used stones to warm their abdomens which they believe helps with digestion and the Chinese have been using hot stones to relieve muscular pain for some 4,000 years. In India river stones were warmed in hot coals or hot water and used in ancient healing, they believed that by placing the stones on cloth over the body and arranging them over the energy centres of the body a healing process was thought to occur.
During a Hot Stone treatment the heat of the stones relaxes the muscles, which means the massage is more effective and intense than if just the hands were used. Hot Stones are believed to be able to reach up to 3cm into the muscular areas where they are placed. The Cold Marble Stones are used in much the same way as the Hot Stones. The alternate use of the hot and cold stones encourages the body to detox and heal, increasing the lymph flow and helping to flush out toxins.
