Hot Stone
Hot Stone massage can be traced back thousands of years in different ancient cultures. This massage offers the same techniques as a Swedish massage, but uses gentle gliding movements with smooth, flat, and heated Basalt stones.
​
The stones are used to melt away tension and ease muscle stiffness. The application of heat expands the blood vessels, which encourages blood flow and releases toxins through the lymphatic processes.
​
Hot Stone massage provides a sedative effect which can reduce stress, promote relaxation, as well as relieve chronic pain.
​
It is recommended to drink plenty of water after receiving hot stone massage to flush out toxins that have been released by the muscles.
Always communicate with your therapist about your unique concerns, problem areas, and pressure tolerance so that your massage is customized to your specific needs.
