What Is Hot Stone Massage?

Hot Stone Massage involves the gentle placement and gliding of heated basalt stones, chosen for their smooth texture and ability to retain consistent warmth. The heat helps:

Your therapist may combine stones with hands-on techniques to blend heat therapy and massage into a seamless, restorative session.

Who Is Hot Stone Massage For?

Hot Stone Massage is an excellent choice for clients who:

  • Experience chronic stress or burnout

  • Prefer a relaxing treatment with therapeutic benefits

  • Have muscle tension that responds better to heat than pressure

  • Live with anxiety, insomnia, or high-stress lifestyles

It is especially beneficial for clients who struggle with cold sensitivity, stiffness, or seasonal tension.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Calming Atmosphere & Warmth

Your session begins with heated stones placed strategically along tension-prone areas such as the back, shoulders, and spine. The warmth helps muscles soften before deeper work begins.

Slow, Rhythmic Movements

Your RMT will use the warm stones as an extension of their hands, applying long, flowing strokes to encourage deep relaxation and improve circulation.

Gentle, Therapeutic Pressure

While heat enhances the treatment’s effect, pressure is always adjusted to your comfort.
Hot Stone Massage should feel nurturing, soothing, and deeply calming — never overwhelming.

A Restorative Finish

Your session ends with grounding techniques that help you transition back into your day feeling lighter, calmer, and more balanced.
