Hot stone massage uses water-heated basalt lava stones of varying sizes in combination with traditional massage techniques. The heated stones create a feeling of continuous heat throughout the body, the purpose being to help the client become more physically and emotionally receptive to the therapeutic benefits of the massage.

Suggested Progression:

 

Hot Compress Massage | Ayurvedic Face Massage | Crystal Tranquillity | Ayurvedic Foot Massage

 

Ann says "I have suggested hot compress to enhance the theme of introducing heat to the body. A face massage would give a longer and more profound face massage which you could adapt to using the hot stones with. The foot massage would be an excellent addition and make the treatment longer and more unique".
