Untwisted Tree Massage Therapy has recently added Himalayan Hot Stone Massage.  Below you can read about the differences between both treatments. 

Benefits of Himalayan Salt Stone Massage

You may already be familiar with the benefits of Himalayan salt as it relates to cooking and air purification. It’s becoming more and more popular as a sea salt substitute, and Himalayan salt lamps are all the rage lately.

But adding Himalayan salt stones to a massage will provide you with the following:

Deep sense of relaxation

Exfoliated, glowing skin

Soothed muscles and joints

Improved sleep

Better blood circulation

Reduced signs of aging

One reason Himalayan salt stone massages feel so rejuvenating is because the stones contain 84 natural minerals that generate positive health effects. 

Benefits of Hot Stone Massage

Hot stone massage therapy is an ancient Chinese technique that utilizes, black rocks made of basalt. The stones are used as an extension of my hands to knead your muscles, similar to Himalayan salt stone massage.

However, while the vibrant, pink Himalayan salt stones are more helpful for your skin and mind, basalt stones are ideal for pain relief and other physical benefits. You can expect the following from a hot stone massage:

Loosening of tight muscles

Deep relief of chronic pain, especially in the neck and back

Better blood circulation

Stronger immune system

What’s the Right Choice?

The cost of adding on hot stones or Himalayan salt stones to a massage session is the same.  Since one doesn’t cost more than the other, the choice is yours.  Ultimately, you can’t go wrong with either option.
