      <br>Adding hot stone therapy to your treatment can improve soothing effects and release chronic tension, but it must be done with meticulous attention to ensure the client’s well-being and peace of mind.
      <br>
      <br>Start by selecting smooth, flat basalt stones that retain heat well. Always heat the stones in a professional stone heater designed for this purpose; never use a microwave. The recommended warmth is between 120 and 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Confirm warmth using a calibrated thermometer before placing stones on the skin.
      <br>
      <br>Prior to application, 宮崎 メンズエステ assess heat by testing on your pulse point to make sure it feels gently hot but not intense. Never place a stone that feels too warm on the client. Insert a clean, dry linen layer between stone and skin as a protective shield against thermal injury. Even at safe temperatures, prolonged touch risks thermal damage if the stone is not moved regularly.
      <br>
      <br>Steer clear of high-risk anatomical sites such as the spine, bony prominences, or areas with poor circulation. Avoid this therapy for those with diabetes who experience reduced sensation, recent lacerations, or dermatological disorders, as they may be unable to detect overheating and are at higher risk of burns. Expectant mothers must be cleared for this therapy with verification from their medical team and with adjusted application patterns.
      <br>
      <br>Keep stones in slow, constant motion during the massage to prevent prolonged heat exposure. Integrate stone placement with deep tissue manipulation to facilitate gradual tension release. Keep a supply of cool towels nearby in case the client indicates overheating. Upon finishing the treatment, clear the stones and give time for cooldown for several moments before rearranging attire.
      <br>
      <br>Sanitize stones meticulously following every session with a mild soap and water, then ensure total moisture removal prior to storage. Check stones weekly for damage, which can become breeding grounds for microbes or shatter when warmed. Encourage ongoing feedback and prompt them to report any discomfort. By respecting these safety standards, you can provide a secure and therapeutic experience while prioritizing your client’s well-being.
