WHAT IS HOT STONE MASSAGE THERAPY? Introduced to North American massage therapists in the early 1990s, hot stone massage is a form of massage therapy that follows the same principles of a regular Swedish massage but with the addition of heated stones, which are believed to better open the bodys energy pathways. Hot stone massage is a form of thermotherapy in which hot stones are positioned on specific areas of the clients body and allow for greater deep tissue manipulation. Massaging oils are used to allow the therapist to work with the muscles easier and the hot stones may be alternated with cold stones or room temperature stones to facilitate the massage treatment.
