Our hot stone massage equipment category includes:
6 and 18 Quart heaters, basalt hot stone sets with chakra stones, and marble cold stone sets.Hot Stone Massage Therapy, one of the speciality massage forms, is increasingly popular today among massage therapists,due to the amazing benefits from the warmth of hot stones. Hot stone massage is a complementary and alternative practice well known for promoting deep relaxation and enhanced blood circulation. The comforting heat of hot massage stones is applied to ease muscles and alleviates pain and stress. While cryotherapy can be an effective form of medical treatment in certain circumstances, in massage, cold stones have the advantage over ice, in that stones do not desensitize the skin, as ice can, so soft tissue manipulations and mobilizations will not be taken beyond the client's tolerance. Cold stones alternated with hot stones can provide a therapeutic balance. Some benefits of cold stones: disperse congestion, alleviate swelling, interrupt muscle spasms, stimulate the autonomic nervous system, increase metabolism and invigorate. Alternating cold and hot stone application is not a treatment for everyone. If a client is prone to being cold day to day, or has mild circulatory problems, it is recommended that the client experience a hot stone massage only.
