A hot stone massage is a type of massage that involves the use of both cold and hot stones. This technique was once known as 'Stone Therapy,' but it is now known as hot stone massage therapy.

The stone will be heated by the therapist using hot water, an electric pan, or a professional stone heater. Other than these three, the therapist will not heat the stone with any other method or machine because there is a risk of burning. The therapist will warm the stones for your massage before you begin. The two stones that are used widely in hot stone massage are Basalt and river bed stones.
They both have a lot of iron content in them, which helps them retain heat for a long time. These stones are different in terms of size, colour, and weight. The stones are soaked in water and heated in an electric pan. In the meantime, the therapist will massage your muscles and comfort them. Once heated, massage stones are placed in specific areas of the body, such as the spine, stomach, belly, legs, and hands. This treatment also includes some massage oils in addition to the hot stones.
The therapist will test the stone's temperature by placing it on their skin before applying it to your body. Following the removal of the stone, you will notice a reddish shade or mark in the stone's place, indicating enhanced blood circulation.
The massage is approximately 60 minutes long, and it leaves you feeling calm and relaxed. There are numerous sorts of massages available, but this hot stone massage therapy stands out among them.
