Hot Stone Therapy
90 Minutes
Hot stone therapy, also known as hot stone massage, is a type of massage therapy that involves placing heated stones on specific parts of the body to help relax muscles and ease tension. The stones used in this therapy are typically smooth, volcanic rocks that can retain heat for an extended period of time.
During a hot stone therapy session, the therapist will heat the stones to a specific temperature, usually around 54 to 60 degrees Celsius, and place them strategically on different areas of the body. The warmth of the stones helps to relax the muscles, allowing the therapist to apply deeper pressure to specific areas of tension.
In addition to placing the stones on the body, the therapist may also use them to massage the muscles, providing a unique and soothing experience for the client. The combination of heat and massage helps to increase circulation, relax the nervous system, and promote overall relaxation.

1. *Swedish Massage*: Gentle, long strokes and kneading techniques to promote relaxation and improve circulation.
2. *Deep Tissue Massage*: Light to moderate pressure to relieve muscle tension and discomfort, avoiding deep pressure on sensitive areas.
3. *Reflexology*: Gentle stimulation of specific points on the feet to promote relaxation and address pregnancy-related symptoms.
4. *Lymphatic Drainage*: Light, rhythmic strokes to reduce swelling and improve lymphatic circulation.
5. *Side-Lying Position*: A comfortable and safe position for the mother, supported by pillows, to ensure the proper alignment of the body during the massage.
