Why It’s Called A Hot Stone Massage?
There’s gotta be a reason it’s called Hot Stone Massage – and it’s obviously because of the heated stones used during the treatment. But it’s more than that. When placed on of your body, these stones will relax every tense muscle, helping avoid having damaged soft tissues throughout your body.
Every hot massage stones are heated to between 130 and 145 degrees according to University of New Hampshire Health Services. They may be placed to any of the following:
- Along both sides of the spine
- On your chest
- In the palms of your hand
- On your feet and toes
- On Your stomach and abdomen
What to Expect During Hot Stone Massage?
After placing the stones, the therapist will wait for a few minutes for the heat to take over the towel. Once you discern if they are in the right temperature, the therapist will now apply massage oil to your skin.
While you hold stones with both your hands, the therapist will use gliding movements to move the stones along your tense muscles. Relaxing massage strokes are applied to ease all the aches and pains, leaving your muscles loose and relaxed. The process will take place from 60 to 90 minutes depending on the agreed time with the therapist.
Can You Get A Hot Stone Massage While Pregnant?
If you are familiar with this type of massage, it is performed with the person lying on their back or stomach. At first glance, we think it must be dangerous for a pregnant woman to have this. During the first trimester, this could not be a problem. But as the uterus grows, this may cause one because it can be felt when lying on the stomach.
For every pregnant woman, a hot stone massage or massage treatments, in general, should be only performed with your doctor’s approval. Pre-existing conditions such as high blood pressure, open wounds, inflamed skin, and diabetes are contraindications of hot stone massage. Meaning, try to avoid the treatment if you are experiencing such conditions. You must also take into consideration the day spa that will handle your treatment. Make sure that you are under the hands of a trained and skilled prenatal massage therapist.
