Hot stone massage

Massage therapy with hot stones is very interesting and enjoyable massage experience. In my experience there are two basic ways of using the stones. Very nice relaxing method is the Magic Hot Stone Massage. A similar type of massage techniques has always been practised in Hawaii. Magic Stones are heated lava stones and are used as heat carriers, which is possible because of their structure, and shape. Hot stones are placed on different parts of the body (back, chest, abdomen, hands, feet, etc.). Their work helps to harmonize energy flow in the body, stimulating the pressure points on the body and warming deep tissues, which leads to a therapeutic and relaxing effect. In conjunction with the Hawaiian massage techniques, a special spicy oil massage is used, with the main focus being on the manipulation of the forearms. This is a massage which has a very soothing effect on the body and soul.

In Europe, the less well known technique is the Japanese Hot Stone Massage. This technique is based on one of the oldest types of East Anma massage, dating back to over 7000 years ago and used in Nepal, Tibet and China. Anma massage means kneading, rolling and shaking. Unlike the Hawaiian massage it's use is targeted at the stimulation of the muscles and pressure points on the body. For example; in China the name given to this type of massage is ANMO (pushing and rubbing), also the name Tuina (push and grab). Japanese Anma technique has been used for thousands of years. Today the complexity of this type of massage is being understood. This technique has a similar effect to moxibustion as the warm stones stimulate the reflex (pressure) points on the body. Japanese hot stone treatment is a method that doesn't use oil. Stones can also be placed on the body when you are still dressed. This massage is adaptable enough that it can be used  for clients with have allergic reactions to oils, for religious or other reasons where direct contact with the clients skin is not possible.
