Hot Stone Massage and Thermal Palms Massage
(Performed by RMTs)
Hot Stone Massage Therapy
Just take a moment to imagine lying comfortably upon a pattern of stones warmed
to 140 degrees and holding one in each hand, warming cold hands. As the RMT massages
you with warm stones feel trails of heat flowing deep within the body, swirling
along the spine, radiating through the shoulders and neck, flowing down the legs
to the feet, lingering just long enough to melt the tension from each and every
muscle. Incorporate the relaxing nature of Swedish massage and you have a very
enjoyable and healing treatment.
Hot Stone Massage continues to be added to spa menus throughout the world
for its profound qualities of relaxation and restoration, yet it's no lightweight
when it comes to providing a tempered approach to deep tissue work.
The deep penetrating heat prepares the body for deeper work, allowing trigger
points to dissolve and fade with minimal effort. Your RMT can incorporate regular
massage and deep tissue massage into this treatment if requested.
Thermal Palms Massage Therapy
A Thermal Palms Massage is a targeted massage treatment to help
alleviate the body's primary regions of chronic muscular tension. Typically, these
regions include the back of the leg and hip regions, the entire musculature of
the back and shoulders and the chronically tight muscles surrounding the neck.
Depending on the client's needs, the therapist can either include hand massage
to the rest of the body (arms and front of legs) or keep the targeted massage
treatment only.
A Thermal Palms Spa Massage is most suitable for clients
in need of a deeply relaxing full body massage. Although firm pressured massage
techniques can be included, the focus is to provide a deeper sense of physical
relaxation and mental calm. The Thermal Palms Spa Massage is ideal for those
suffering from signs and symptoms of general anxiety, nervousness, insomnia
and restlessness. For many, the full body Thermal Palms Massage can be more
effective than the targeted massage treatment. The Thermal Palms Spa Massage
is usually one hour in duration and ends with a firm pressured foot massage
The Difference Between Thermal Palms and Hot Stone:
Thermal palms are hand held heat modalities naturally made from oatmeal and water
and held in a satin cover which conform to the body's natural contours providing
a smooth-satin-like texture against the skin. In Hot Stone Massage, the therapist
uses stones as their heat modality. They will place warm stones on your body (i.e.
in your palms or on your back) to help relax sore muscles. While these stones
are doing their magic, the therapist will massage your body with warm stones held
in her hand.
Both treatments are very relaxing, pain relieving and comforting especially
in the cold winter months. Try one of each! These two treatments are performed
by RMTs and are covered by extended health care insurance.
