Hot stone massage
Maybe one or the other of you already knows this, maybe you have also been able to enjoy a hot stone massage?
For those who can not imagine anything, I'll try to explain this type of massage in a nutshell.
One uses for this massage form in the water bath heated stones. Those who want to practice it properly use basalt stones as they store heat for longer. If you just want to try out, if that's for him, you can also go collecting stones and try them (make sure that the stones are nicely rounded).
These stones are then heated in a warming device, which is filled with water (about 60 degrees Celsius). If someone does not have such a thing, they can also warm up the stones in a saucepan (as the heat does not last that long, but enough to try out).
The warm stones are then taken out of the water, for example with a wooden spoon, and after checking the temperature on yourself, you can put it on your partner.
You can lay them wherever you want (back, legs, neck, even between the toes you can put stones). Now cover the occupied area and let the stones give off their heat for a few minutes.
After this process, remove the cloth and the stones again, rub the body with massage oil (preferably preheated - but not absolutely necessary), take new warm stones (also lubricate with massage oil) and begin to gently massage his partner.
How much you can push and the temperature must be discussed with the partner, otherwise the massage may not have the desired effect.
The aim of the massage is to relax the muscles by the heat given off by the stones.
On the Internet (Google, YouTube, ...) there are many guides to the different massage techniques with the stones.
I hope I could explain the Hot Stone Massage reasonably understandable, because I'm not from the subject and apply this form of massage (but for a long time,) only with my friend.
In addition I must say that he is constantly exposed to heavy, back-burdening work, also has a lot of stress and always has his head full.
He can go down completely with this massage and also his back pain has become significantly less, which I am most pleased.
For those who want to try it out, I'd say it's very unfamiliar in the beginning, because you have to figure out how it's most comfortable for your partner.
The first few times, I was still very timid on the whole thing ran and was always afraid to hurt him, because you just ask and dare to try, then it is.
Maybe some of you are trying? That's good for the partnership! I would be happy to hear from your experiences. :-)
