Adding hot stone therapy to your treatment can deepen relaxation while reducing tightness, but it must be done with care and 宮崎 メンエス precision to ensure the client’s well-being and peace of mind.

Use only high-quality, smooth basalt stones that maintain consistent warmth. Only use a therapeutic-grade stone heater designed for this purpose; never use a microwave. The optimal heat level is between 49 and 54 degrees Celsius. Confirm warmth using a calibrated thermometer before placing stones on the skin.

During prep, test the warmth of each stone on the inside of your own wrist to make sure it feels gently hot but not intense. Never place a stone that feels too warm on the client. Insert a clean, dry linen layer between stone and skin as a protective shield against thermal injury. Even at safe temperatures, skin exposure may lead to burns if the stone is held stationary for more than a few seconds.

Never apply stones to delicate regions such as the vertebral column, joints, or numb zones. Clients with diabetes should not receive hot stone massage who have nerve damage, active sores, or eczema or psoriasis, as they may be unable to detect overheating and are at higher risk of burns. Pregnant clients should only receive hot stone massage with verification from their medical team and with adapted protocols.

Glide stones smoothly without pausing during the massage to minimize risk of thermal injury. Alternate between heated tools and manual pressure to facilitate gradual tension release. Prepare refrigerated towels for immediate use in case the client indicates overheating. Upon finishing the treatment, clear the stones and give time for cooldown for several moments before getting up.

Sanitize stones meticulously following every session with a hypoallergenic detergent, then dry completely before storing. Examine each stone before each use, which can harbor bacteria or fail unexpectedly. Check in regularly with the client and urge them to voice concerns about temperature. If you implement these best practices, you can offer a deeply relaxing treatment without risk while ensuring their comfort above all.
