Hot Stones Massage

Hot stones harness the power of heat to induce relaxation. Stones are placed, warmed to the proper heat, on specific body parts where they encourage a calm nervous system and loosen up muscles for subsequent bodywork. Heat enhances circulation and improves the quality of treatment. Locations include focal points in areas where clients feel discomfort. I also like to combine some adjustments or gentle releases if you feel comfortable. In the postpartum phase, the belly is warming and comforting. Bringing heat to the abdominal area after having a baby promotes the uterus to go back to its pre pregnancy size naturally, expels trapped air, helps with digestion and constipation, and breaks up residual blood clots allowing for the lochia (postpartum bleeding) to flow more easily speeding the healing process.
