Hot Stone Massage for Pain Relief
Looking for relief from persistent aches and pains? A Hot Stone Massage may be just what you need.
Where is my pain coming from?
Knots in muscles form over time due to muscle strain or injury. This can lead to pain and soreness. For some, it might be too painful or uncomfortable to reach these knots through traditional deep tissue massage. Hot stone massage is an excellent tool for dissolving these knots in a more gentle, therapeutic treatment.
How does Hot Stone massage help relieve pain?
Using hot stones allows a massage therapist to achieve the benefits of a deep tissue massage without having to use the same degree of pressure. The heat of the stone increases circulation to the muscle and helps it to release tension. When a therapist places a hot stone on the tissue and uses the stone to gently massage the impacted area, the muscle relaxes and allows the therapist to manipulate the surrounding tissues with greater ease.
What types of stones do you use?
Hot stones are just one of the many ways you can customize your massage at Be Well Bodyworks in Longmont. We currently offer three variations of hot stones: water stones, salt stones, and shells.
Himalayan salt stones offer an additional benefit for skin nourishment as they are rich with minerals. Salt and water stones take several hours to heat – please note that if you wish to use these in your session you will need to request them well in advance. Shells, however, may be added at any time to your session as their heating time is much quicker. If you’re not sure which stone is right for you, please speak with our team and we can help guide you to the tool that will best support your unique treatment.
