Hot stone therapy is a therapeutic massage technique that uses warm, smooth stones to relax muscles and reduce tension. The heat helps improve circulation and allows muscles to release more easily, making it especially helpful for stress, muscle tightness, and chronic discomfort.
In a physiotherapy setting, hot stone therapy is used to support pain relief and recovery. When combined with hands-on care and exercise, it helps prepare tissues for treatment, reduce muscle guarding, and promote overall relaxation and healing.
Hot stone therapy uses heat to support muscle relaxation and circulation. It is often used alongside physiotherapy to enhance treatment outcomes.
