We all know the healing powers of heat and the sun. When we go to the beach, the hot sand feels great on our muscles and bones. There is a therapeutic way to get the benefit of this feeling, without all the sand. It feels even better. It isn't anything new! It's hot stone massage. I was a little cynical when I first heard about and was reluctant to try it. However, when I first had one, I was hooked.The professional who will perform this is in a clinical environment with sanitary tools (stones). They are kept in boiling water to inhibit the growth of bacteria. The therapist will be trained and certified. He/she will use tools or gloves to remove the stones from the water when they are needed for a client and this keeps them sanitary.The stones used for this are the ones used through the ages and the history of hot stone massage. They are smooth basalt stones. These retain heat very well and are believed to have energizing properties.The hands are the other tools used when giving a hot stone massage. It is much easier on the hands of the therapist than regular massage, as he/she doesn't have to use his/her hands to apply pressure - rather the stones and pressing on them cause...more

The ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians, as well as the Japanese, Romans and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments; and even Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems. In the modern United States we now use many different kinds of massage therapies, each of which offers specific benefits to the mind and body. Full Body Massage is one of the methods. I have had many of these, and always leave feeling great. My biggest surprise was how great my skin felt afterwards.Full body massage comes with many benefits including relaxation, leading to better sleep.
