Hot Stone Massage

A very relaxing massage, promoting a deep level of circulation throughout the body with a type of volcanic stone that retains heat.

A hot stone massage is best for people who have muscle pain and tension or who simply want to relax. This type of therapeutic massage is similar to a Swedish massage, only the massage therapist uses heated stones (heat to a temperature of 55-60 degrees Celsius) in lieu of or in addition to their hands. It eases muscle tension, improves blood flow, and relieves pain by using heated stones.

A hot stone massage may help:

• Ease muscle tension
• Improve blood flow
• Alleviate pain
• Promote relaxation
• Relieve stress

During a hot stone massage, heated stones are placed on different areas of your whole body. Your therapist may hold a stone as they massage different parts of your body using Swedish massage techniques using gentle pressure.

Sometimes cold stones are also used.
