Q: What is the benefit of Hot Stone Massage? Patty
A: The benefits can be many but here are some of the most common benefits of hot stone massage. Heat from the stones can relieve the pain associated with arthritis, create a calming effect on the nervous system, increase circulation of the blood and relieve muscle tension. If a person is uneasy with having a touch this can be a wonderful way to introduce them to massage.
There are some precautions to consider also. If you are experiencing inflammation the heat from the stones with increase this, if you have sensitive skin, if you have heart or circulation problems discuss with your therapist. Hot stone is not recommended for children, pregnant or menopausal women.
I would encourage you to try hot stone massage and enjoy all the benefits it can bring. I have received hot stone massage myself and found it very relaxing and a great treat for myself when the weather is cold!
