What a hot stone massage involves
The massage usually begins with the client lying face down.

The pressure of the massage can vary according to the client’s request or necessities.
If there is any Inflammation on the body I will also apply cold stones This acts as a sort of exercise for the veins that alternatively contract and relax, thus helping the release of toxins.
