I just had my first “Hot Stone” massage yesterday, and let me tell you… they work! I’ve been training for the Big Climb (70 flights up the Columbia Tower) so I’ve been running stairs and my calves have been screaming at me. There are days that I hobble around like a little old lady and can barely get down the stairs in my own house. That’s true. But no more! (and to think that all this time there was something that could help… and I always thought it was just an expensive add-on at the spa.)
Hot stones can do what fingers and foam rollers and lacrosse balls can’t. Here’s the deal: Hot stones can slide across your muscles, and get into the muscle tissue like nothing else. You know the feeling… you have a sore muscle, and if someone tries to massage it, you jump, cringe and yell “don’t touch that!”
Not with the stones, my friend! Between the massage oil, the heat of the stone, and the size/shape of the stone… a trained person can get right into the muscle, just where you need it. It was awesome and I feel like a million bucks today! That was definitely worth the add-on cost.
So turn on some Hot Rocks (classic Stones from the 60’s and early 70’s) get out the kettlebells and start swinging!
Peace Out,
