Frequently Asked Questions
What are hot stones made of?
We use smooth volcanic basalt stones that retain heat exceptionally well. These stones are heated to a comfortable temperature and placed on specific points of your body.
How hot are the stones?
The stones are heated to approximately 50-60°C (120-140°F). They feel warm and soothing, never uncomfortably hot. We always test the temperature before placing them on your body.
What does hot stone massage feel like?
The warm stones create a deeply relaxing sensation as they melt away tension. The heat penetrates deep into your muscles, providing a unique combination of warmth and massage pressure.
Who should avoid hot stone massage?
Avoid if you have: diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, varicose veins, recent surgery, or are pregnant. The heat may not be suitable for certain conditions.
How is it different from regular massage?
Hot stone massage uses heated stones to warm and relax muscles before deeper massage work. The heat allows for deeper muscle relaxation and improved circulation compared to traditional massage.
