Hot Stone Massage - Muscular aches, pains, sprains, MS, and  Back pain

The hot stones relax the muscles, allowing a greater intensity of manipulation. The warmer stones expand the blood vessels, pushing blood and unwanted waste materials through the body. This has a sedative effect on the nervous system. The cold stones cause the blood vessels to constrict, stimulating the nervous system and drawing blood and waste products along the body. This creates a type of thermo-therapeutic 'vascular gymnastics' in the circulatory system to help the body detoxify and heal.
