What is a Hot Stone Massage?
During a hot stone massage, Your Matrix massage specialist will use heated stones as an extension of their hands. Stones of different sizes are heated to the perfect temperature for maximum benefits. Smooth stones are used to massage your body, while stationary stones relax muscle groups.
Hot Stone Massage Benefits:
The water-heated basalt stones allowed for greater relaxation of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Your experienced massage professional can manipulate your muscles with more intensity and more comfort than with a traditional massage. This combination of heat and massage has proven benefits.
Reduces Pain
- The Heat from the stone penetrates deeply into stressed muscles, relaxing the area and decreasing pain. Massage therapy has become an accepted form of alternative medicine. Many people are using hot stone massage as a complementary treatment for chronic pain disorders such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Promotes Relaxation
- A hot stone massage will relax stressed and overworked muscles that can make you feel tired. Tight muscles can become painful, and this pain can trigger additional health problems. Relaxing the muscles gives them an opportunity to heal.
Improves Circulation
- As the hot stones relax your muscles, they will also improve circulation to the area. The heat will open the blood vessels allowing your circulatory system to function efficiently. Improving your circulation can reduce muscle fatigue.
Reduces Anxiety and Depression
- Hot stone massage has been shown to decrease the severity of anxiety and depression. While massage is not a substitute for traditional medical care, it can be a valuable addition to your current treatment plan.
Improves Flexibility
- A tension in the muscles can decrease the flexibility of the joints. Relaxing the muscles surrounding your joints can make movement easier and more comfortable. Many people with joint disorders find hot stone massage particularly helpful.
Improves Muscle Spasms
- Tense muscles can spasm and become painful. Some people find that muscle spasms can interfere with daily function. Hot stone therapy can ease muscle spasms, and decrease the pain they cause.
