Hot Stone Massage

A Hot Stone massage is a unique, distinctive and relaxing form of massage therapy that uses  heated stones to enhance and amplify the therapeutic benefits of the massage. Smooth, flat river stones, typically made of basalt, are heated and placed on specific points of your body for a soothing and relaxing overall feeling.

Your Massage

During a Hot Stone massage, your massage therapist may start with traditional massage techniques to warm up your muscles and promote relaxation. Then, using smooth, heated river stones, they will gently glide or place the stones along your spine, shoulders, legs, feet, hands, chest and arms. The heat from the stones penetrates deep into your muscles, promoting muscle relaxation, increased blood flow, and tension relief. Your therapist may also place the warm stones on different parts of your body while using other stones to apply gentle pressure or perform specific massage strokes, further enhancing the therapeutic effects.

Your Comfort

We want you to be as comfortable as possible during your massage. You will be fully and modestly draped with a sheet/blanket during your massage and your therapist will only uncover the part of the body being worked on, re-draping and tucking for your comfort. You may also request that certain parts of your body not be massaged.

Your Type

A Hot Stone massage is a deeply satisfying option if you experience muscle tension, chronic pain or stress-related conditions. The soothing heat can help relieve muscle aches, reduce inflammation, and promote pain relief. It is also beneficial if you have poor circulation or always cold hands and feet (the heat can improve blood flow and provide a warming effect). The heat from the stones helps dilate blood vessels, improving circulation and delivering oxygen and nutrients to your muscles, while aiding in the removal of toxins and reducing muscle stiffness and tension, while promoting deep relaxation and stress reduction, helping reduce anxiety, improve sleep and your overall well-being. 

Overall, a Hot Stone massage from Massage Studio offers relaxation and rejuvenation if you are seeking a pampering and indulgent experience. The combination of heat and massage creates a sensory-rich treatment that melts away tension and promotes a sense of deep calm and tranquility.
