What is Hot Stone Massage?
A hot stone massage is a form of bodywork that uses smooth, round stones at varying temperatures to create soothing heat. The stones used in this type of massage are typically basalt, which is a hard rock found in volcanic regions and known for its ability to retain heat. These stones are placed on key points of the body and systematically moved around by the massage therapist.
Some benefits of hot stone massage include:
- improves circulation and flexibility
- reduced pain and soreness
- deep relaxes muscles and joints
- promotes better sleep and mental clarity
Hot Stone Massage Techniques
- Hot stone preparation: Your therapist will prepare the hot stones for a few minutes until they reach the desired temperature.
- Hot stone placement: The stones are placed at key points along your spine, from the top of your head to the base of your tailbone, as well as on each side of your body.
- Hot stone manipulation: The stones are also placed strategically to help release tension in key areas where stress tends to build up over time. These areas include around your neck and shoulders, in your lower back, or along the bottoms of your feet.
What to Expect During a Hot Stone Massage and Spa Treatment
Arriving 15 minutes prior to your appointment is a great idea because it allows us to set you up in the room and help you relax before we begin. If you are unable to attend your appointment, please give us 24 hours notice so that we may offer the opportunity to another client. The hot stone massage is a luxurious and relaxing experience that lasts 90 minutes at $200.
If you get uncomfortable during your hot stone back massage, let your therapist know. They will stop immediately if they feel anything is too hot or painful. Try to avoid eating or drinking for two hours before your treatment. Remove all jewellery and makeup with gentle facial cleanser before your hot stone spa. Drink enough water to stay hydrated after the session.
