What Can I Expect During my Hot Stone Massage?
Your therapist, Susan Richardson begins by applying oil to the body, which allows the hot stones to glide smoothly along the muscles. You are lying face down, Susan often then uses the hot stones to massage the back.
After the hot stones have relaxed the muscles, the massage therapist may put down the stones and use his or her hands to directly massage the skin.
The hot stones may then be placed back onto the body and left for a short period of time.
You are then asked to turn over onto your back. The massage therapist may place small hot stones between your toes or in the palm of your hand and repeats the sequence.
