What is Hot Stone Massage?

Hot stone massage is a massage in which heated smooth stones are placed on certain points of the body or used by hand during the massage. The stones are usually heat-retaining stones such as basalt and are kept at a suitable temperature. The therapist glides the stones with oil or leaves them in place, then applies classic massage movements by hand. Heat is thought to help loosen muscles. The temperature should feel comfortable throughout; if it feels too hot, say so right away. Because heat is applied, some health conditions need care. Once the stones are warm, they can be used along the spine, in the palms or around the feet. You can discuss before the session which areas they will be used on.

Typical session length

Sessions usually last 60 to 90 minutes; extra time is needed to prepare and place the stones.

Who is it suitable for?

It suits people who like to relax with warmth, especially those who want an enveloping session in the cold season.

If you have diabetes, a circulation problem, heart disease, loss of sensation, sensitive skin, an open wound, are pregnant or take blood thinners, talk to your doctor before starting. If you are sensitive to heat, this session may not be suitable.

What happens in a session?

The therapist heats the stones in a warm container, checks the temperature and places them on your back or other areas. The stones give off heat for a while, warming the muscles; then massage follows with oil and hands. If the heat is too much, just say so; the stone is changed or a towel is placed underneath.
