The warmth from the stones improves blood flow to the area being treated, which can ease chronic muscle tension more quickly than a traditional massage alone.
Hot stone massage is a popular choice for clients who hold a lot of tension in their back, shoulders and neck, or who simply want a deeply relaxing treatment.
Smooth, heated stones are placed on key points of the body and also used by the therapist to massage larger muscle groups.
Sessions usually last 60 to 90 minutes and are performed at a comfortable, therapeutic heat.
Let your therapist know if you prefer firmer pressure or have any sensitivity to heat before your session begins.
