Benefits of Hot Stone Massage
Deep Heat Therapy
Heated basalt stones reach temperatures of 130-145 degrees, penetrating deep into muscle layers to release tension that hands alone cannot reach — providing relief that lasts for days.
Profound Muscle Relaxation
The combination of heat and massage relaxes muscles up to five times more effectively than traditional massage alone, making it ideal for chronic tightness and stiffness.
Enhanced Circulation
Heat from the stones dilates blood vessels, dramatically improving blood flow throughout the body. This increased circulation delivers more oxygen to tissues and speeds natural healing.
Toxin Release
The deep warmth stimulates lymphatic drainage and promotes sweating at a cellular level, helping your body flush metabolic waste, lactic acid, and other toxins more efficiently.

Hot Stone Massage FAQs
What is the difference between hot stone and Himalayan salt stone massage?
Traditional hot stone massage uses smooth basalt stones heated to provide deep muscle relaxation. Himalayan salt stone massage uses hand-carved stones made from pure Himalayan salt, which not only provide warmth but also release trace minerals like magnesium and potassium into the skin, offering additional detoxifying and skin-softening benefits.
Are the stones too hot? Can I get burned?
Our therapists carefully monitor stone temperatures and always test them on their own skin before placing them on your body. The stones are heated to a comfortable warmth, typically between 130-145 degrees Fahrenheit. If any stone ever feels too warm, simply tell your therapist and they will adjust immediately.
Who should avoid hot stone massage?
Hot stone massage is not recommended for those with certain conditions including pregnancy, high blood pressure, diabetes, skin conditions, or recent sunburn. If you are taking blood-thinning medication or have any cardiovascular concerns, please consult your doctor before booking. Our therapists will review your health history before your session.
How should I prepare for a hot stone massage?
Stay well-hydrated before your appointment. Avoid heavy meals within two hours of your session. After the massage, drink plenty of water to help flush released toxins. Many clients find that the heat makes them drowsy, so plan for a relaxed evening after your treatment.
