I got my hot stone massage a few days ago, May 19th to be exact. I was a bit nervous and very excited to realize this wish. I never thought it would become true. I was thinking it would become true in an undiscernable future. Now, it had become a reality. I feel a bit more knowledgeable, in a physical way. Seeing it in one video is one thing. Living it is another thing.
All the preparation is the same as for a regular massage. There was a questionaire with a few questions. There was the preparation in the cabin with the undressing and the explainations for the massage. All that went smoothly. It was a nice thing to have. I got informed before hand on how things were done but getting the explanations in the setting got me a bit more at ease.
The massage itself was great. The hot stones were really soothing on the skin. It helped to get the muscles more relax. Now, I think I won't be able to get an ordinary massage without the hot stones. They helped me relax. The main problem was on my part: I have a sensitive skin. The stones were a little bit too hot at first for my skin. When the therapist was working on my back, I had a few involontary twitches from my part. It was funny in a sense because we were excusing ourselves at the same time. There is health problems that can't received this type of massage. Sensitive skin isn't in them. I wonder if sensitivity of the skin is spread enough to get considered a problem for hot stone massage.
I also have a suggestion: to drink plenty of water before and after. I didn't get hydrated before and I was really thursty after. After the hot stone massage and for the rest of the day, I could not stop drinking. I also felt that the water was absorbed by my body.
In conclusion, it was worth every penny for it. I want to return to get another one. I don't know if I will develop a thicker skin with time for the hot stones.but I am happy to have tried it at least once in my lifetime.
