  • Hot stone massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones. They are often basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well.

    It is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage. The heat helps tight muscles release.

    What Happens During a Hot Stone Massage?

    *Before you arrive, the massage therapist sanitizes the stones and heats them in 120 and 150 degree water.

    * The therapist uses traditional strokes of Swedish massage while holding a heated stone. As the stone cools, the therapist replaces it with another.

    * The therapist might also leave heated stones in specific points along your spine, or in the palms of your hand, or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy in your body.

    * If you have inflammation or muscle injury, cold stones are sometimes used.

    How Much Does a Hot Stone Massage Cost?

    A hot stone massage is more expensive than a basic Swedish massage because it requires more preparation and usually runs longer

Heated basalt stones (at 55 degrees) have been used therapeutically for at least 4000 years, in China, Iran, Central America and by native Americans. They are electromagnetic and carry the energy of the earth and of the water in which they were found. They act as magnets drawing out toxins from the body, and balancing out the positive and negative ions in every cell (too many positive ions cause disease). They increase circulation and lymph flow, allowing nutrition to take place within the stimulated areas and facilitating the therapists work by allowing her to go deeper



Because of their porousness the stones have the ability to absorb toxins and negativity from the body and to hold heat for a long time. All stones have a vibration and a heart beat in harmony with nature and they oscillate at a slow rhythm which is picked up by the body at conscious and unconscious levels, relaxing and soothing it. The heat from the lava stones has the ability to loosen stiff muscles and to relax the body and mind, deeply and meditatively. The weight of the stones, additionally, makes the person feel grounded, reassured, nurtured.
