A hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy. It’s used to help you relax and ease tense muscles and damaged soft tissues throughout your body.
During the massage, smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific parts of your body. The stones are usually made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat. Best practise says hot massage stones should be heated to between 130 and 145 degrees.
The stones may be placed along your spine, on your stomach, on your chest, on your face, on your palms and on your feet and toes
We will hold heated stones as we massage your body using Swedish massage techniques such as long strokes, circular movements, vibration, tapping and kneading
Sometimes, cold stones are also used during this type of massage. Cold stones may be used after hot stones to calm any engorged blood vessels and to soothe the skin.
Sometimes hot stone massage is not suitable for people with Diabetes, Pregnancy, High blood pressure due to it being a more stimulating treatment. It is important to make sure that the therapist is fully trained like with all massage treatments.
