Hot Stone Massage

River rocks are typically used because they have become smooth over time from the river's current. e localized heat warms and relax the muscles, allowing the massage therapist to apply deeper pressure. While many therapists use anatomy to guide the placement of the stones, some massage therapists will also place stones on points thought to energetically balance the mind and body.
