🔥 Hot Stone Massage: Myth vs Reality
Myth 1: The stones just sit in one spot.
Reality: The stones are continuously moved across the body during the massage. This allows you to experience the soothing warmth without the stones becoming uncomfortably hot in one area.
Myth 2: The stones are supposed to feel really hot.
Reality: They should feel deeply warm and comfortable (never burning). The temperature is carefully checked before and throughout the treatment.
Myth 3: The stones do all the massaging.
Reality: Your therapist still uses their hands and bodywork techniques. The warmth from the stones helps relax the muscles, allowing the therapist to work more effectively.
Myth 4: Hot stone massage is a firm/deep tissue massage because you're being massaged with stones.
Reality: The stones are used to warm and relax the muscles before hands-on massage. Because the muscles are already warmed, your therapist can focus on deeper relaxation sooner, rather than spending as much time using massage techniques to warm the area first.
