Hot Stone

Smooth heated stones are used in two ways: First, "placement stones" are put on your body in key locations to heat up the muscles before they are massaged. The heat causes your blood vessels to dilate and the muscles loosen up enabling the massage to be the most effective that you can get.

Secondly: Heated stones are actually used as a tool in the massage treatment. The smooth warm stones are used in addition to my hands and have been described by one of my clients as liquid heat. I think that's an accurate description.
