The Benefits of Hot Stone Massage

If you're going through a tense time in your life and would like natural stress relief without medication, you may benefit from a hot stone massage at Kosak Chiropractic Auto Accident & Pain Clinic and Dr. Michael Wilson in Fairfield, CA.  


What Is a Hot Stone Massage?

To help relax tense muscles and damaged soft tissue, Dr. Michael Wilson at Kosak Chiropractic Auto Accident & Pain Clinic in Fairfield, CA often prescribes a hot stone massage. This form of therapy incorporates flat and smooth heated stones that are strategically placed on certain areas of your body. Typically made from basalt, a type of volcanic rock, these stones are well equipped to retain heat.


Dr. Wilson and the team typically heat the stones to around 135 and 140 degrees. After heating, the team will place the stones on various parts of your body, including your stomach, back, hands, face and feet. In some cases, doctors hold the stones in their hands while giving you a deep-tissue massage. Although entering a state of deep relaxation is one of the main benefits of this therapy, this massage offers several secondary benefits.


  • Reduces anxiety and stress
  • Provides pain relief from autoimmune disorders, fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis
  • Increases joint flexibility
  • Decreases tension and muscle spasms
  • Promotes better sleep
  • May decrease disease symptoms
  • Helps boost immunity


Hot stone massages also help promote a healthy lifestyle by helping your body properly direct energy flow. And, the hot stones help improve your circulation by penetrating deep into your body's blood vessels.


Am I an Ideal Candidate for a Hot Stone Massage?

People who have a low tolerance for pain, are prone to bruising or have sensitive muscles are usually ideal candidates for this form of massage therapy. Without applying firm pressure, Dr. Wilson can successfully reach deep tissue using the hot stones – without the uncomfortable direct pressure some people may experience with traditional massages. However, anyone can benefit from this massage.
