Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage is an alternative medicine massage therapy involving the placement of a number of heated basalt stones on the body for the purpose of pain relief and relaxation. The heat of the stones relaxes the muscles and relieves tension, reducing stress levels and bringing a sense of calm.
The warmth of the stones allows the therapist to work more deeply into the muscles than with standard massage, delivering lasting relief from chronic tension and pain.

What to Expect
Smooth, heated basalt stones are placed on specific points of the body — typically the spine, chest, face, palms and feet. The therapist may also hold the stones and use them to massage key muscle groups, combining heat with targeted pressure.
