Hotstone
massage
For
thousands of years hot stones have been used for health
and wellbeing. The Greek and Romans used the
stones for massages in their bathinghouses to
treat muscle pain and other injuries. Also in
Asian cultures the use of hot stones is very common.
Even ancient cultures such as the Incas and Indians knew
the effectiveness of hot stones and used them for all
kinds of purposes. Nowadays, the beneficial effect of
hot stones has been rediscovered and has made a comeback
in wellness treatments.
A hot stone massage balances body and mind, pampers the
skin, relaxes the muscles and stimulates the energy
flow. The combination of heat and movement
(thermodynamics) makes it possible to reach the deeper
muscle tissue. This makes the massage more
effective than a regular massage. A hot stone massage
helps the body to recover and stimulates it to get rid
of body toxins.
