Cold Stones Massage - What it is, how to use it and why it's just as relaxing as hot stones

[@KindredWoD]

I love that you take the time to explain the heat-tolerance in the hands.

[@homespabeauty]

Thanks for picking up on that. What's too hot for one person is fine for another but your hands will take extremes of temperature much easier than other parts of your body :)

[@jasonsmith2775]

Elaine...Bravo! I would LOVE to see every permutation of stone therapy in a practical setting! Please continue!

[@homespabeauty]

Thanks Jason! I'll make sure that they're on the way asap :)

[@Dbdbe1]

She has such a lovely voice. I'd listen to her reciting the telephone directory!

[@elaineledster1216]

The time taken to explain the cold stones and the demo was very good and long enough to understand but not too long to loose interest. This is just to refresh my mind and has help. Enjoyed it thank you

[@homespabeauty]

That’s great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@sarahlcookson9299]

I love watching your videos. I will qualify in June as a Complimentary Therapist. I am doing my hot, cold and semi-precious stone therapy in May. I would love to see all of the above used in a facial massage please 🥰

[@homespabeauty]

Not long now until you qualify - exciting times! I'll definitely organise a demo of the facial version and I'm sure you'll be able to share some pro tips with me! :)

[@sarahlcookson9299]

[@homespabeauty]

Thanks for such a lovely comment Susan! It sounds like it could be a lovely addition to your treatment menu 😊

Love your vlogs hun. I love using cold stones in facials so any vlogs doing that would be great thank you xx

[@homespabeauty]

Thanks! I'll do that and I'd love to hear your top tips for when you're using them too :) xx

Hi...can you show eye massage routine with cold stones? ....very good video on the cold stone applications. ...👍

[@homespabeauty]

Thanks! Yes, I’ll create a little routine & share soon 👍🏻

[@keithbaileymbe3365]

Awesome explanation, and great advice. Thank you so much. Cold stones on Face, Feet & Back Please.

[@homespabeauty]

Thanks! When we can work on people for demos again I’ll get to it 👍🏻

[@keithbaileymbe3365]

@@homespabeauty Awesome, thank you :-)

[@kittymervine6115]

I have had hot stone massage, and they are fabulous. I'd love to find cold! I'll ask where I get my massages.

[@homespabeauty]

Isn't hot stones a lovely treatment? You might up enlightening them with ideas for their treatment menus! :)

[@Chelmsfordmassage]

Hi, thanks for this video. I would be really interested in seeing a demo of hot and cold stone back massage.

[@homespabeauty]

Thanks! That’s something different & I haven’t performed that before so great idea!

[@ChillFrost]

😍😍😍😍😍😍 love love love your voice and accent

[@homespabeauty]

You are far too lovely! Thanks :)

[@Cool-Tina]

Though I knew it wasn't right, when I saw cold stone massage I thought of Coldstone Creamery. That ice cream place where they mix it up on top of a frozen slab? 😅 Though it might be nice in the middle of summer!

[@homespabeauty]

I like your thinking! 😂 Wouldn’t say no to a massage & ice cream combo any time of the year! 🤪

[@marziaf9849]

Thanks you Elaine, another great video! I would love to see one facial and also hot and cold.

[@homespabeauty]

Thanks Marzia! I''ll organise a demo of using both and I know already how lucky that model will be - totally spoiled with both! :)

[@vickyboyle96]

I love your videos it makes me feel that I should perhaps bite the bullet and go for a massage - also if you get the time could you do video for athletes on how to relax the muscles

[@homespabeauty]

You should definitely treat yourself - it's so worth it! I'll do some research into easy to follow massages for athletes too (sports massage style, which can be simple and effective) :)

[@vickyboyle96]

@@homespabeauty That would be great, I do horse riding, swimming and running plus the gym 6 days a week and so by Sunday my muscles are sore and stiff, so any tips on how to deal with that would be much appreciated

[@homespabeauty]

@@vickyboyle96 You're putting me to shame with how active you are! I'll start looking into a suitable video for you to ease those muscles on a Sunday 😊

[@amberboynton3583]

When you use a combination of hot and cold stones, would you end with hot or cold per the body part/section being worked? Such as working the legs would you start hot and end cold or the opposite?

[@homespabeauty]

Personally I would take the holistic approach if I was using both & treat to the individual on the day. Warming the tissues is important with massage, so starting with some movements in the form of manual manipulation or warmer stones would be beneficial & then you could work to the specifics of the client 👍🏻

[@chiakashabazz9294]

Where and how do you get your stones i love in Barbados

[@homespabeauty]

You can try a local beauty supplies store because they often carry a selection of hot and cold stones. If not, try independent stone suppliers that might sell through eBay or Amazon (and check their feedback for quality) 😊

[@coconut3958]

I found that wen using the boiling water from a kettle over the small stones they went cooler in a minute so no point unless it’s in a continuous heater. Thanks for the other tips 👍

[@homespabeauty]

Happy to help! The smaller the surface area the quicker it cools too, so smaller stones are always quick to lose their heat 😊

[@carolinec3683]

19:17 yes to all

[@homespabeauty]

Duly noted! 😊

[@MonsterHealthandFitness]

I’ve done both hot and cold stone treatments before when I worked in spas. They’re both bullocks. 😂

[@homespabeauty]

Ahh, you can't enjoy every treatment. What didn't you like about them?

[@MonsterHealthandFitness]

As a therapist I prefer to just allow my hands to do the work they need to without anything else getting in the way. Plus, picking up the rocks and rubbing them on people while trying not to drop them was just a pain in the arse.

[@homespabeauty]

@@MonsterHealthandFitness It sounds like anyone who came to you for a massage would be lucky, as you know what you like and what you don't like to perform. Everyone wants a massage from a therapist who cares, so if you make it your mission to let your hands do the work without additional tools that get in your way, I admire that you stick to your preferences :)

[@MonsterHealthandFitness]

Homespa Beauty I admire your beautiful attitude! PS: You do a wonderful presentation. I’m sure your clients get a great session from you, no matter what they request. 🤗
