Hot stone therapy uses the beneficial aspects of warmth and moisture combined with the therapeutic strokes of massage therapy to provide a deep, relaxing and healing treatment. The warmth of the massage stones increases the temperature of the skin to allow it to soak up moisturizing and therapeutic oils. At the same time, the musculature of the body is prepared so the therapist can massage into the deeper muscles layers.

As a type of igneous rock, basalt stone is commonly used in massage as a hot stone therapy tool. This stone was formed as lava cooled following volcanic explosions, making it an extrusive stone. Some people that sell to the massage industry sell stones other than basalt for massage stone purposed. These tend not to hold the heat as well as a basalt stone that is used for hot stone massage.

This way you can ensure that you get your clients will receive a relaxing and soothing massage experience.

Using a well-rounded set of quality basalt stones is very important to providing a good massage experience. Equally important is the technique and procedures that you use in performing the massage. Please read the seven tips included in this article that will help illustrate to you how to provide a relaxing and effective hot stone massage.

Make sure you don't drip water all over your client: keep a towel nearby to wipe the extra water from the stones.

With the exception of cold stones, always place a towel between a stationary stone and the client. When performing cold stone therapy, the cold stones should not be left in place for more than 10-15 minutes. The cold when using cold stones will help mask any damage could potentially occur, so check with your client to make sure you stay within their comfort level.

In order to make sure that your client will not experience any discomfort from any rough spots on the stones, as well as to ensure that they slide well on the skin, be sure to apply a liberal amount of oil.

Always inform your client when you are about to place the first stone. Do not surprise them with the weight, or heat of the stone.

If you want to warm the oil before using it on your client, place the bottle of oil in the heater to warm it up a little. Make sure that you don't get it too hot; always test it on your wrist before placing any heated oil on your client.

Never place a stone straight from the heater onto the clients skin. Always check the stone temperature with your hands, and flip the stone as you make your way towards the client.

Have your client remove all of their jewelry. Do not place a hot stone on the belly of a client that has a metal belly ring as it will heat up quickly and burn them.
