Hot stone massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones. They are often basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well.
It is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage. The heat helps tight muscles release.
What Happens During a Hot Stone Massage?
*Before you arrive, the stones are heated in 120 and 150 degree water.
* Traditional strokes of massage are given while holding a heated stone. As the stone cools, it is replaced with another heated stone.
Heated stones are also placed in specific points along your spine, or in the palms of your hand, or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy in your body.
