I've just enjoyed the delightful experience of a hot stone massage...very, very nice. My one and only massage before today was a full body massage five years ago and that was also a beautiful thing. The full body massage was a more rigorous "kneading" of the muscles which led to a lovely sense of looseness and relaxation. I certainly recommend it! The hot rock massage differs in that most of the contact is not with hands but with smooth hot stones used with a lighter touch. The heat from the stones relaxes the muscles. I went in with a headache and achy, tight shoulders and legs...I left without any of that and a calm sense of wellness. Thanks, Rita at Imagine Salon and Day Spa in Glenwood, Illinois for a lovely hour in paradise!I am going to go bask in my massage afterglow...
