Hot stone massage is a Holistic treatment method where the therapist uses smooth and heated lava stones for massage or to place on body parts. It is believed hot stone massage have its origin from the Ayurveda tradition. Started in Indian peninsula around 2500 years back. In ayurveda practitioners use heated stone bundles as a part of preparation method for main treatments. Later on the Japanese start using shaped lava stones heated in a particular device for the massage.

Ancient Chinese used heated stones for more than 2000 years ago to improve the function of internal organs.

The lava stones are created in high temperature like 1500 degree celsius onward and its heat absorption powers are immensely higher compared with normal stone. Most of the muscle pain are due to the friction created heat within the muscle tissue, when there is high temperature in between the muscles, body will push more fluid towards that area to reduce the extra temperature and that makes the fatigue condition, it makes muscle stiffness. When we apply lava stone with minimum temperature, 45 -50 degree celsius on the stiff area, the stone will start absorbing the heat generated by friction deep within the tissues and that results in immediate pain relief. This is the reason why, stone treatment is one of the best method can be done for pain relief. Hot stone massage is more effective when it is done after a deep tissue massage. The stone application will allow therapist to work more deeper into the muscle tissues. So, that the deep tissue massage will be really deeper.
