Benefits
- Heat dilates blood vessels, helping muscles relax faster and more deeply
- Reaches chronic stiffness, especially useful in cooler weather
- Deeply relaxing without the discomfort that can come with firm pressure alone
- Effects tend to last longer than a standard massage at the same pressure
What to Expect
Stones are placed along the spine, palms or between the toes to gradually warm the body, then used directly by the therapist to knead tighter areas. Skin may look slightly flushed afterward — this is normal and fades within an hour or two.
Good For
People who hold tension deep in the muscles but find deep tissue pressure too intense. Not recommended during pregnancy or for those with certain circulation or skin-sensitivity conditions — mention any medical conditions beforehand.
