Hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy using smooth, heated stones. Basalt river rocks are typically used because they are smooth (from the river's current) and retain heat well.

 

In preparation for the treatment, the massage therapist heats the stones in a professional stone heater until they are within a precise temperature range.

 

The massage therapist places the hot stones on specific points on your body and may also hold the stones while giving the massage. The localised heat and weight of the stones warm and relax muscles, allowing the massage therapist to apply deeper pressure to those areas without causing discomfort.

 

The heat from the stones feels truly relaxing, is wholly therapeutic and helps remove toxic waste products from the muscles, relieve stress, depression, stiff joints and promoting deep relaxation. A true treat for the senses.
