 Hot stone massage is the application of water-heated smooth basalt stones to key points on the body, giving a deep massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. Hot stone massage has been used for centuries in traditional Native American, Japanese and Hawaiian therapies. It’s normally combined with another massage technique such as Thai massage or Swedish massage. The penetrating heat from the hot stones relaxes the muscles, which allows for deeper relaxation, when compared with regular massage therapy.
 The hot stones placed on the various chakras of your body expand the blood vessels, pushing blood and unwanted waste materials through the body. They are then massaged (sometimes with oil) into your body. This has a calming effect on the nervous system and improves circulation. A deep melting sensation permeates through your body as it soaks up the delicious heat, and you feel a sense of serenity.
Beyond the physical experience of a typical massage, a Hot Stone Massage can result in emotional and spiritual healing at a higher level. Clients find it warm and soothing, a sensation of being nurtured. They emerge feeling totally refreshed and peaceful. A one-of-a-kind experience in deep physical therapeutic massage, a Hot Stone Massage at a Chiang Mai spa is perfect for reducing stress and feeling rejuvenated - in every way possible.
