What techniques are used?
Application of Heat
Heating the soft tissue increases in blood flow to the area of warmth, creating elasticity in the tissue. This not only helps the therapist work deeper, but also has a calming and therapeutic effect of easing the pain.
Myofascial Release
Myofascia is the connective tissue found around and through muscles. Healthy fascia is strong and elastic. Myofascial release is a technique used to stimulate elasticity in fascia which has become restricted.
Gentle Stretches
Stretches work particularly well alongside hot stones and myofascial release. It feels great and promotes greater flexibility.
Why have a Jing Hot Stone Fusion Massage?
It’s great for relieving pain and tension
Heat has a wonderful analgesic effect. Applying heat to the body through the stones increases blood flow to the area of warmth.
This in turn softens the fascia (connective tissue), creating more elasticity and easing muscle tension. The fascia contains many nerve endings, so when it is softened in this way, pain and tension dissolve.
It’s an excellent de-stressor
When we feel tense, anxious, or stressed, our nervous system is operating in the sympathetic (fight or flight) mode. The treatment room is a beautiful, calm and cosy space.
The combination of heat, slow strokes, and deepening massage has a calming and therapeutic effect, gently bringing the nervous system into the parasympathetic (rest and relaxation) mode.
What people say
Are there any risks to a Hot Stone Massage?
The Jing Hot Stone Fusion Massage is particularly beneficial for long-term, persistent (chronic) pain, including osteoarthritis, chronic low back pain, and neck & shoulder tension.
There are times, however, when it is best to get GP advice, or exercise caution. If you enjoy a hot bath, with no ill effect, then this massage should be fine.
If in doubt, seek advice from your GP and please let me know if any of the following may apply to you:
- An acute injury, which is still inflamed
- Rheumatoid arthritis which is in its inflammation stage
- Any other inflammation in the body
- Nerve damage, neuropathy or sensitivity heat
- Diabetes: Heat can cause dehydration, triggering blood glucose to rise
- Heart disease: Heat causes the body to work harder to maintain temperature
- Varicose Veins: Heat is not appropriate as the veins will dilate further
- Sunburn or heat allergy
- Some skin conditions such as dermatitis may become aggravated
- Broken skin or bruises
- Medications that may cause an over-sensitivity to heat.
- During Pregnancy (see below)
During the First Trimester, we can safely treat and pamper you with the hot stones.
We do, however, need to apply a bit of caution. We will not massage or use heated stones around the sacrum and the abdomen area.
Pregnant women may receive treatment safely on the hands, feet, shoulders, neck face and upper back.
We’ll keep in constant communication and agree to cut short the session if you become too warm or uncomfortable.
