Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone Massage is performed with basalt stones, which are formed from lava cooling after a volcanic eruption. They are smooth and retain heat very well. These stones are placed on specific areas of the body and then are used to massage. The treatment involved use of energy meridians to promote relaxation. The heat from the stones allows the therapist to work more effectively in the muscles during the treatment, and sometimes cool stones are used in combination for a more stimulating effect. There are specific benefits to a hot stone massage which include; increased circulation, increased lymphatic circulation, decreased overall muscle and joint pain, decreases headaches, decreases menstrual and sciatic pain. It also promotes increased well-being and grounding due to the energy fields inherent in the stones. Most importantly, hot stone therapy reduces your overall stress and it is very common for clients to fall asleep on the table! Treatments are for one hour or and hour and a half. Clients undress to their comfort level and a massage lotion/gel is applied to help glide the stones.
