The Rolling Stones Massage
Our hot stone massage is allied with deep tissue techniques to employ deeper pressure and heat, beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension with slow, deep-guided strokes and firm pressure to relieve severe tension and reach below the superficial muscles.
A hot stone massage is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain and soreness in both large and small muscle groups. The benefits of this massage coupled with deep tissue massage procedures come mainly in the form of pain relief for suffers of chronic conditions however they also include the following; reduction in muscle tension, lowered blood pressure, arthritis relief and an increase in joint mobility, to name a few.
Benefits of a Rolling Stones Massage
Eases Tension and Pain
Heat is a well-known natural pain reliever. The heat is enormously effective at releasing the tension and thus easing the pain.
Decrease Anxiety
Reduces mental and physical stress and encourages muscular relaxation by breaking up lactic acid.
Heat Aids Depth
It allows intense muscle relaxation which enables the therapist to work deeply, without the same pressure needed in a deep tissue massage.
Rolling Stones Massage Techniques
Effleurage is often used when starting or finishing work on an area, or taking a break from intense work. The therapist uses long gliding motions of varying pressure, according to your needs. Effleurage increases circulation, and warms up the tissue. Therapists use fingertips, palms and forearms to perform this technique.
Circular frictions are applied using the tips of fingers or thumbs using some pressure and some circular stationary manipulation. The depth of the pressure may be increased gradually over a short series of 3-4 circles before pressure is released and the movement repeated.
Petrissage involves rhythmically kneading, wringing, or rolling the muscle to access deeper tissue, often while lifting the muscle. This technique brings blood to the area and separates muscles fibers from one another. The alternate squeezing pattern is very relaxing, as it signals the brain to release tension in the area.
Trigger point therapy addresses spasms, when nerves continue to fire when they shouldn’t. Trigger points cause acute (and eventually chronic) pain. The massage therapist will use trigger point therapy in specific areas to address localized issues. Working these points will stop the nerves from firing unnecessarily, thereby alleviating pain.
Myofascial tissue is thin, fibrous connective tissue that connects, supports, and protects muscles and bones. If this tissue is tight, it will affect the muscles’ ability to stretch fully, restricting movement. Myofascial release helps ease pain while also improving flexibility and mobility. Its effect is time-released and long-lasting.
