What Is Hot Stone Massage?
Hot Stone Massage is a therapeutic bodywork treatment that integrates the use of heated stones to enhance relaxation and muscle release. The therapy blends:
- Static placement of warm stones on key points of the body
- Massage strokes using the stones themselves for long, gliding movements
- Targeted muscle work with warm stones to improve depth and effect without discomfort
The heat allows our therapist to work deeper into the muscles while promoting a calm, meditative state.
