Hot stone massage can relieve pain and tension in your muscles due to the combination of massage therapy and heat.
Heat is often recommended as a way to treat achy muscles. Applying heat to an area of the body helps increase blood
flow to that spot, which improves healing. Massage Therapists actually use the same strokes in a hot stone massage
that they would in a Swedish massage, but they perform them with hot stones instead of their hands. The stones allow
the masseuse to get more depth more quickly for more intense pressure.
