Let the Heat Do Some of the Work
Sometimes tight muscles just need warmth before they'll let go. Hot Stone Massage uses smooth, heated basalt stones alongside your therapist's hands to soften tense muscles faster and more deeply than pressure alone — a slower, more grounding kind of relief. It's one of our included enhancements, so there's no separate booking and no upcharge.
Quick Facts
- Heated basalt stones help your muscles relax faster than hands alone
- Improves circulation and eases stiffness
- Included free — no separate booking or upcharge
- Can be layered into most Customized Massage sessions
What Makes Hot Stone Massage Different
Your therapist places smooth, heated stones on key points of your body and glides them along your muscles as part of your massage. The heat helps your muscles soften more quickly, so your therapist can work deeper with less resistance and less discomfort for you. It's a warmer, slower, more grounding experience than a standard massage — heat and touch working together instead of pressure alone.
Hot Stone Massage Is Great For
- Chronically tight or stiff muscles
- Stress and tension relief
- Improving circulation
- Cold sensitivity or muscles that never seem to "warm up"
- Deepening relaxation during a Swedish-style session
- Easing into deeper work if you're sensitive to pressure
- General stress and burnout recovery
- Anyone who simply loves the feeling of warmth
What to Expect During Your Session
Check-In
Let your therapist know you'd like Hot Stones added to your session, and mention if you're sensitive to heat so they can adjust accordingly.
Warming the Stones
Stones are heated to a safe, controlled temperature before your session — your therapist checks the heat against their own skin before it ever touches yours.
Stones in Motion
Rather than just resting on your skin, the stones are used as an extension of your therapist's hands — gliding, kneading, and working into tense areas with the added benefit of heat.
Ongoing Comfort
If a stone ever feels too warm, speak up immediately — your therapist will adjust the temperature or switch it out right away.
After Your Massage
You'll likely feel warm, loose, and deeply relaxed. Drink water, take your time getting up, and enjoy the lingering warmth. Your skin may look slightly flushed in the areas the stones touched — that's normal and fades quickly.
