Hot Stone Massage

Dear morefish12.
No doubt that different kinds of stones carry different energy potential. I'm pretty certain that for purposes of stimulation by hot stones massage river stones as well others kinds are good enough. I mean all of them minerals and carry potential to release long waves of heat.

is there a certain stone you should you use?
or will any smooth stone be good enough?

Dear KukoTheCure.
Just not to repeat myself I'll refer you to my Kuginame reply. to keep stones constantly hot you just can added boiling water or you can purchase hydracollider . in my opinion you shouldn't be concern that stones on back getting cold before you done with legs. they not so cold and still active minerals . in any case to use stones like static hot application only is not effective enough. you have to incorporate hot stone in soft tissue mobilization.

Im massage therapist and I consider my self a good therapist :-) but hot stones its not my thing, I just cant keep the stones at right temperature ... my question is when you massage you use one stone then you replace it with another if gets cold before you done? And do you place the stones at same time while you done massaging and how long you keep them on? When i do full body massage stones i place on the back they get cold before im done with the legs.

Dear Kuginame.
you can heat the stones in any container using boiling water. usually 5 to 7 minutes enough for stones to generate heat. use a spoon to take stones out of container. careful touch with your hand. if temperature are tolerant you will perform stone massage. if stone will be to hot, for 1 minute or less hold it under cold water. on DVD# 11
during 2 hours I explaine and demonstrate how to perform stone massage as well how to prepare stones for massage.

Is there an easy house hold way to heat the stones? and what temp. should they be?
Thank you

Dear crizzo06.
I think you can use baby oil but not to use any oils for lubrication in cases of pre physical activities( playing sports, to perform some physical work ets) and of course in cases of allergy reaction.

would baby oil work ?

As a massage therapist, I keep various oils and lotions and creams on hand. They have different viscosities, which are used for a variety of reasons...deep tissue, people who have hairy areas. The heavier the viscosity, it helps to massage for a hairier person. Also, there are allergies to consider and so I always ask each client if they have any allergies to fruits, nuts, oils, essential oils, scents, etc. I would normally use light olive oil for a client with body hair or deep tissue cream.

i have learned alot from these videos! thanks

alternatively you might try a Bodywork Therapy like shiatsu which can be applied through light clothing.

My website will be up and running soon and I hope to put some videos on here in the near future.

Thanks will do

I am currently training in Holistic Therapies and want to add Hotstone Therapy to my list. I found the vid very useful for tips. Great stuff

This client being massaged is so lucky! He's in nearly all the videos.

Dear ficklemcpickel.
You shouldn't worry to received massage therapy. as barbedwirebat111 kindly stated: in case of hairy back we using bigger amount of lubricants.
Best regards.
Boris

no, itd just mean they'd use more massage oil.

Hello Boris,

I have a bit of a hairy back, would that make it hard for me to get a massage?

Thank you

The use of hot stones gives an intensely deep massage.

I understood "that will cause the membrane of the neuron to depolarise". Do you understand that statement? Now who's stupid?

It's his second language. Give the guy a break, yeah?

I can't understand WTF this stupid guy is saying.

omg i want a massage so bad now...

I was considering having a hot stone massage. And now i've made up my mind. Thanks. Soon as I get Paid again I will.

I'm in training to become a professional wrestler and my trainer also says that this will help loosen my muscles.

thanks for posting this.
