So, now we have the stones on the upper body, heating and soothing the upper torso. Now we're going to start massaging the leg. Apply a large amount of the oil, especially on a male client, where the hair can absorb the oil very quickly. Using out Effleurage strokes to superficially apply the oil. And it also gets the client prepared for what you're going to work on. We're going to start with the upper leg, doing our Effleurage strokes holding the stone in this part of our hand. Applying pressure on the upstroke, turning the stones as they cool. Then I can use Petrissage, kneading. This is great on the adductors, especially with our runners. Lengthening and stretching the quads, coming around the knee gently, not to go over the bony protrusions too hard. And go down towards the front of the leg, to the sides of the leg. And I like to traction the ankle, when I put the two stones on either side of the Achilles, I anchor at the top and I tr5action the heel. It's a great stretch and you can get heat into those tendons that are normally neglected. And that's hot stones for the leg.
