Have you ever seen a spa menu and asked which you should schedule, a hot stone massage or a deep tissue massage? Both are fantastic choices, but they serve two different purposes and are quite distinctive from one another.
· Pressure vs. heat
· What they treat
· Comfort vs. intensity
Pressure vs. heat
Deep tissue massage essentially involves creating firm pressure directed to loosen tension deep in your muscles. A hot stone massage by Jamie Lloyd involves the use of smooth, heated stones placed on specific points of your body. Although massaging is involved here too, it is a bit gentler than the deep pressure of deep tissue work. The heat does much heavy lifting so the therapist can glide over your muscles more smoothly.
What they treat
Deep tissue massages work their way deep into muscle layers where tension lies hard to be addressed through other treatments. The hot stone Massage Cobham focuses much on relaxation, if you want to melt away tension without undergoing the intensity of deep pressure, then maybe hot stones are more up your alley.
Comfort vs. intensity
The Hot Stone Massage Hinchley Wood is mostly considered a luxury relaxing massage, because heated stones are warm against the skin and soften your skin, so your muscles, hence there is no need to endure a strong pressure application during the massage. In contrast, deep tissue massage can be very intense, especially if you have tight muscles or deep knots. Not that it's painful, exactly, but if you're not used to firm pressure, it can be uncomfortable.
