How hot stone massage relieves soreness

Hot stone massage combines smooth heated stones with traditional massage strokes. The warmth penetrates sore, tight muscles and helps them relax, which improves blood circulation and lets your therapist work out tension with less direct pressure. For many guests this feels gentler and more soothing than deep tissue alone.
