The stones are carefully placed on the chakras and other key points in the body to balance energy, while additional stones are used along with essential oils to massage the body. The size of the stones used vary according to the part of the body being worked on. Hot Stone Massage feels very luxurious and gentle, however, the heated stones enable deep relaxation in the muscles giving a more effective and intense form of massage. Therapists are able to reach up to 10 times deeper during a Hot Stone Massage than other forms of manual massage.
