The therapist uses the stones as an extension of their hands; they gently apply pressure while gliding them over muscles. This blend of heat and pressure helps to loosen up the stiffness in muscles, improve circulation, and calm the mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_It_Works\"><\/span>How It Works:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Heating the Stones:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The stones are heated in warm water up to a comfortable temperature around 120\u00b0F to 130\u00b0F (49\u00b0C to 54\u00b0C) with an aim of relaxing the muscles and improving circulation in that area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Placing the Stones:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hot stones are placed at your key areas; for example, on your back, along the spine, palms, or between the toes.
