Although the hot stone hangzhou escort  is believed to have been done thousands of years ago, it is said that a certain Mary Hannigan of Tucson, Arizona invented the hot stone massage more than a decade ago and trademarked her own version of this unique massage technique. However, many other hot stone massage proponents have since come up with their own versions, but basically using the same principles.

A hot stone massage makes use of several different-sized basalt stones. Basalt is volcanic in nature and can thus absorb and retain heat efficiently. Smooth rocks are chosen for the hot stone massage, with large ones being placed on the lower abdomen, the sacrum, and along the spine hxt0ldc; while the smaller ones - approximately the size of the tip of the thumb - being used between the toes.

The rocks are heated in water with a temperature of 120-150 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot stone massage in hangzhou must be well trained in the trade, because using stones that are too hot or too cold can be deleterious to health, not to mention potentially unsafe.

The hot stone massage therapist must use rubber gloves or a tool to take the stones out of the water - this is usually a slotted spoon. The rocks must not be picked up with bare hands out of the water, because apart from the obvious reason that these might scorch the therapist's hands, the water must also be kept clean and free from bacteria.
