What Is Hot Stone Massage?​

​Hot stone massage is a treatment that provides the body with great comfort and relief. As the name “hot stone massage” indicates, the stones used throughout this treatment will be heated. Stones that are heated for this kind of treatment should only be heated in a professional stone warmer. The temperature of the water should be verified by a calibrated thermometer (110° - 130° F). There should always be good communication between the therapist and client to make sure that the temperature of the stones are not too hot.


​Why Would I Choose To Receive This Treatment?  
​

​Would you like relief from stiff & sore muscles? Are you having trouble sleeping? Is the outside weather cold? Would you like to find a way to allow your body to relax at a deep level? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then hot stone massage may be just what you are looking for!


​How Does Hot Stone Help To Heal The Body?

​Hot stone massage therapy can help melt away the tension held within your body. Areas of the body that hold a lot of tension can be worked more deeply after having been properly warmed up by the stones. Pain caused from sports injuries, such as a sprain or tennis elbow, can often be reduced after having a hot stone massage therapy treatment. 

What Type Of Stone Is Used In A Hot Stone Massage?

When it comes to using stones for a massage treatment, there are quite a variety to choose from. Since we are speaking about hot stone massage specifically here, an ideal stone to use would be basalt. These stones are able to retain heat for an extended period of time, which makes it a very desirous stone. To provide a constant warmth throughout the whole treatment, with fluidity, it is best to use such a stone that is high in iron, silica, and magnesium. 

​

What Are Some Reasons You Would Not Want To Receive Hot Stone Massage?

​If you are currently pregnant, have diabetes, cancerous tumors, open wounds, bruises, broken skin, or high blood pressure, it would be recommended that you do not receive this treatment. If you are currently seeing a doctor for any medical reasons, it is best, as with most therapy, that that you consult them prior to receiving a hot stone massage. When you are approved by your doctor to have a hot stone massage, it is in your best interest to make sure your therapist is aware of any medical conditions you may have, or for which you are being treated.
