A hot stone massage is not a massage with the hands on the skin, but with "hot" stones. The masseur places "hot" stones on important points of attention in the body (often the back) or rubs this gently. Due to the combination of heat and movement, the massage deeply affects the muscle tissue.
In our Western culture we use the hot stone massage mainly for relaxation. The ancient hot stone massage technique is used in Eastern culture and in Greek and Roman antiquity was mainly used to prevent and treat diseases and disorders. These days you can undergo the hot stone massage in a sauna, massage practice, beauty center or at a beautician.
