Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage originated with Native American Indians who used hot stones in Sweat Lodge ceremonies to enhance relaxation during the elimination of physical and spiritual impurities.
The SPAce for Wellness Hot Stone Massage begins with the application of heated river stones to key points on the body, often along the spine, on palms of the hands and on the belly. The effect is an immediate re-balancing of energies. The stones are then used as instruments used to apply pressure and reach deeper tissue layers.
The direct heat penetrates muscles and melts away tension, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity and depth than other types of massage. The heat also benefits the body by stimulating circulation, expanding blood vessels and allowing the body to naturally detox and heal itself.
Hot Stone Massage is beneficial year-round but is extra delicious in cold winter months.
