What is it and for what type of complaint?

Massage with hot stones, usually volcanic stones, is an ancient therapy, whose historical records point to its use by Buddhist monks, Chinese, Indians, Egyptians, Japanese, Russians, Tibetans and Indians of the Mayan civilization. The practice integrates 3 techniques, namely: aromatherapy, massage therapy and thermotherapy and aims to promote muscle relaxation, relieve anxiety, stress and pain, as well as bring well-being.

In addition to the calming, anti-inflammatory, stimulation of the lymphatic system, cellular and brain metabolism, hot stone massage promotes blood vessel vasodilation, thus contributing to an improvement in venous circulation.

Duration: Each session lasts around 60 minutes, depending on whether or not there is another conjugate therapy.

Procedure: After the oil sliding maneuver in the patient's body, the heated stones are rested for a few minutes in some areas of the body (key acupressure points). Subsequently, firm movements are performed with gentle pressure.
