Hi Cherie, Do you throw your lotion bottle away after each client? If not cross contamination is occurring. Germs and bacteria from clients goes into the bottle each time you dip your fingers and touch the client. This is actually against massage Board policy here in Oregon...

Preparing the Limbs for a Hot Stone Massage

Hello, this is Sherry Krieger for Expert Village.com. We are going into following through with what happens after you place the stones and how long the stones should be placed on the client’s body. The stones can remain for as long as 20 minutes if they hold their heat a while, and it depends upon the temperature in your room and the temperature outside, how long you heated the stones and how hot they are to start off with. You have all the stones applied to the back as you can see here. Now what I do after this is I start working on the limbs and get the limbs nice and relaxed while the back is relaxing. I’m working on the arm right now applying the massage lotion. Start off with some petrasage, the spreading of the muscles throughout the arm and some compression. Some times the stones tend to want to go where they will. We are doing some more stretches here and applying the knuckles to the underside of the arm.
