Hot stone massage is quickly becoming one of the most popular methods of massage therapy. The heat from the massage stone creates a deeply relaxing experience for your massage client. Any massage therapist would greatly benefit by adding this type of massage to their practice. You will not only see an increase in profitability, as you can charge more per massage, but you will not have to use as much strength and energy to achieve the same results on the client. The most common and effective type of stone to use for hot stone massage is basalt stone. Due to its mineral composition, mainly of silica as well as traces of iron, it retains heat very well. This warmth radiates into the muscles of your massage client, relaxing their muscles and allowing the therapist to work deeper into the muscles.
Cold stone therapy is also becoming very popular. It is common to use stones that have been chilled in the same massage routine as hot stones. When cold stones are use on the body the act as a powerful decongestant. Basalt stone can be used for cold stone therapy but most people are finding that marble provides an even better material for this type of therapy.
