Why Massage Therapy is Right for You!
When you visit your chiropractor, they have a support team of expert professionals who help treat health concerns related to the musculoskeletal system. Massages are just one form of treatment Family Chiropractor Care offers our patients. However, a hot stone massage is a type of massage that can be very beneficial to your health.
What are Hot Stone Massages?
Your therapist will start the massage by heating up basalt rocks in the water. These rocks are the best in locking in and retaining the heat from the water more than other types of stones. This is why our Longview massage therapists will use basalt rocks in a hot stone massage.
The massage therapist heats the basalt rocks at a perfect temperature, so it doesn’t end up burning your skin. Your massage therapist might ask you where you feel pain or tension in different areas of your body. Then, they will put the rocks on parts of your body where you might feel pain or tension. They might also put the stones in other parts of your body where muscles tend to tighten up, palms of your hands, on your feet, spine, and abdomen. These basalt rocks will help loosen the muscles before they give you a full deep tissue massage. By relaxing your muscles even more before the massage, this can be even more beneficial for your health.
