Hot Stone Massage 60 minutes

Service Description

A hot stone massage is a therapeutic massage technique that uses smooth, flat, heated stones (usually basalt, a volcanic rock that retains heat well) placed on specific points of the body. The stones may also be used by the therapist as a tool to massage muscles. The heat from the stones helps: • Warm and relax tight muscles • Improve blood circulation • Ease tension and stress • Promote deeper muscle relaxation compared to a traditional massage Typically, the stones are heated to a safe temperature (about 120–140°F / 48–60°C) and positioned along the spine, in the palms, on the legs, or other areas depending on the client’s needs. Many people find hot stone massage particularly soothing if they have muscle stiffness, stress, or difficulty relaxing.
