What Is A Hot Stone Massage?
A hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy. It’s used to help you relax and ease tense muscles & damaged soft tissues. During a hot stone massage; smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific parts of your leg & feet. The stones are usually made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat. During your foot/leg massage, we use a natural lavender massage oil or plain vegan massage oil. The choice is yours! Add a Hot Stone to your leg/foot massage for just $43.00 more! |
There are some conditions that are contraindicated locally. That means that you can still receive a foot/leg massage but must avoid those areas with those conditions when giving you the massage.
- Broken bones
- Burns
- Some skin conditions
- Cuts
- Bruises
- Varicose Veins
Additional Contraindications
Fever
Anytime you have a fever, whether from a cold, the flu or some other infection; you should not get a massage. Massage increases circulation that may in turn help the infection increase the severity of the fever and the infection.
Contagious Diseases
If you have a contagious disease you are putting your therapist and even your therapist’s other clients at risk of getting it. Please be considerate and cancel your massage
if you come down with a contagious condition.
Blood Clots
Massage can loosen blood clots. This could be dangerous because the clot could migrate to the brain, lungs or heart. If you are aware of any blood clots, consult your doctor before massage to make sure that it will not be effected by massage therapy.
Pregnancy
No type of massage service should be rendered and is especially
risky in the first 3 months of pregnancy--including foot massage.
Kidney Conditions or Liver Conditions
Massage can put increased strain on both the liver and kidney if they are not functioning normally. This occurs because massage increases blood flow, increasing the movement of waste through the body. If you are experiencing a health problem with either your kidney or liver it is likely that massage will not be appropriate for you. Talk to a health care professional to see if massage will aggravate any kidney or liver condition.
Cancer
Though massage is good at relieving some of the discomfort caused by cancer, it should only be given by someone trained to work with cancer patients.
The patient should obtain a release form from his/her doctor.
Inflammation
If you have inflammation of any kind; massage to the area will further aggravate the situation.
