To put it crudely, a myofascial trigger point is a localized area of intense pain (when triggered) caused by over-contracted muscle fibres, starved of oxygen & creating a localized energy crisis, where neuroreactive biochemicals are released to sensitize nearby nerves, which, in turn, act on the central nervous system to initiate the motor, sensory, and autonomic effects of myofascial trigger points.

What is a hot stone massage?

A hot stone massage uses heated stones to massage the body. The hardness of the stones allows the therapist to address specific problem areas with more detailed work or deeper pressure. Basalt stones of various sizes, shapes and weights are used throughout and heated in water.

*Before you arrive, the massage therapist sanitizes the stones and heats them in 120 to 150 degree water.

* The therapist uses traditional strokes of Swedish massage while holding a heated stone. As the stone cools, the therapist replaces it with another.

* The therapist might also leave heated stones in specific points along your spine, or in the palms of your hand, or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy in your body.

* If you have inflammation or muscle injury, cold stones are sometimes used.
