Hot Stone Massage

There is something deeply primal about heat applied to tired muscles. Our Hot Stone Massage combines the therapeutic power of heated basalt stones with skilled hands-on massage to create a treatment that reaches muscle tissue at a level that hands alone cannot. Warm stones are both placed on key points of the body and used as an extension of the therapist's hands, delivering penetrating heat that melts tension and restores circulation.

What to Expect

Smooth basalt stones, a volcanic rock known for its excellent heat retention, are heated to a therapeutic temperature and checked carefully before touching your skin. Your therapist will place stones along the spine, on the shoulders, between the toes, and in the palms of your hands, allowing their warmth to seep into tight muscles while the massage work continues on other areas of the body.

The stones are also used as massage tools: your therapist glides them along muscle groups with intentional pressure, dramatically increasing the effectiveness of each stroke. The combination of heat and manual technique allows the therapist to work deeper with less pressure, making this an excellent choice for those who want therapeutic results with a gentler touch.

Benefits

• Heat penetrates deep into muscle tissue, releasing tension that hands alone can't reach
• Increases local blood flow and improves circulation throughout the body
• Reduces muscle spasm and stiffness, particularly effective for chronic tightness
• Promotes deep relaxation of both the muscles and the nervous system
• Allows therapeutic depth with gentler pressure, ideal for those who are sensitive to deep tissue work

Who It's For

Hot Stone Massage is an exceptional choice for anyone dealing with muscle tension, poor circulation, chronic stress, or anyone who simply wants a deeply luxurious and restorative experience. It's especially popular in cooler months when the warmth adds an extra layer of comfort.

Please let your therapist know if you have any conditions that may be affected by heat, such as certain cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, or skin sensitivity.
