Hot Stone Massage & Healing Stone Therapy in Jacksonville, F
At Heavenly Hour Therapeutic Massage, the therapist has been preforming hot stone massage for over 10 years and uses the basalt lava stones known for its ability to retain heat. The stones themselves are heated in a bath of 120-125 degree ferenhete hot water. The massage therapist removes the stones from the hot water and uses the hot stones in the palms of the hands to perfrom the massage. The pressuer can range from light to firm. The choice of different sized and shaped stones are determined by the outcome that was determined at the time of intake form and consultation at the befinning of the session. Larger more rounded stones are used for a general relaxation type of massage using the same effluarage strokes used in Swedish massage. When a more specific outcome is choosen, then more specific, irregular shaped, and smaller stones are used. The deeper the request for pressuer, the slower the strokes become similar to that described for deep tissue massage.
Usually the session is started prone (face down) working on the back muscles first. Traditional Swedish massage strokes of effleurage is used to apply the oil and prepare the muscles to receive the heated stone. After the general warmup, the heated stones are used in the palm of the therapist hands and applied to the appropriate depth that was predetermined at the time of intake. Throughout the massage, as the stone cool, it will be replaced with a fresh stone from the heated water. This exchange from cool to fresh hot stone occurs until the session is finished.
