The hot stone massage is a very unique form of bodywork and other healing massage therapy employing the positioning of some heated or perhaps cold stones on the patient's body for the specific intention of recovery, relaxation and pain relief. This sort of massage therapy is also referred to as the healing rock therapy due to its similarity with the practice of acupuncture. Regardless of its similarity, there are a few important differences between the two. Acupuncture is an art that's based on inserting needles into certain points of the body in the belief that the flow of blood within the body will be regulated and enhance health. Hot stone treatment on the other hand is much more direct and literally uses warm stones placed on certain parts of the body, which is thought to improve the energy circulation and permit the body to heal itself. The curative properties of the stones are thought to boost the efficacy of the therapy too.
