Benefits of Hot Stone Massage :
Relief from pain and soreness – Studies indicate that massage therapy eases low back pain, muscle aches, pain after surgery and provides immediate relief for cancer patients with moderate-to-severe pain.
Stress reduction – This probably won’t surprise you, but one study showed a 15-minute massage therapy break at work reduces stress better than a 15-minute break without massage.
Better sleep – Massage therapy helps adults with insomnia and babies sleep better. This might sound like a miracle, but it’s supported by research.
Improved immunity – Your immune system keeps you healthy despite exposure to germs and this study shows that even one Swedish massage boosts immunity.
Muscle relaxation without the pressure – Some people enjoy a ‘no pain, no gain’ approach to massage but it’s not for everyone. In a hot stone massage, less pressure is needed for deep muscle relaxation because of the added heat. People with fibromyalgia, arthritis or other chronic pain may appreciate a lighter touch.
