A hot stone massage is when basalt stones are heated in hot water and used during a massage. Basalt is used because it is a volcanic rock that retains heat that then penetrates deep into the tissue during a hot stone massage. From an energetic perspective, these volcanic stones have grounding, balancing and emotionally calming qualities.
By relaxing both superficial and deeper muscles, the stones allow the therapist to work throughout the layers of tissue without having to use more pressure to get there. This type of massage has been shown to provide great benefit to people with fibromyalgia and other autoimmune disorders as it eases tension and provides pain relief in different ways from a massage without stones.
