What this service offers

Promotes Vascular Expansion & Blood Flow

Heat expands blood vessels, increasing oxygen transport to starved, fatigued muscle tissues.

Calms Stress & Calms the Nervous System

Sustained warmth triggers a deep parasympathetic response that calms anxiety and aids restful sleep.

Iron-Rich Volcanic Basalt Stones

Uses natural, smooth volcanic stones that hold heat consistently and glide comfortably over oiled skin.

What to expect

1

Check heat tolerance

Mention reduced sensation, circulation concerns or sensitivity before warmed stones are considered.

2

Agree warmth and pressure

The therapist combines the selected massage work with warmed stones. Speak up if the heat or pressure is uncomfortable.

Preparation and aftercare

Before your appointment

  • Discuss health conditions that affect sensation or heat tolerance.
  • Explain areas you want avoided and any oil or fragrance sensitivity.

After your appointment

  • Check sore or unusually red areas rather than assuming discomfort is part of a successful treatment.
  • Burns, persistent pain or concerning skin changes need assessment; avoid adding heat to an irritated area.

FAQs

Are the hot stones too hot for comfortable application?

Not at all! The basalt stones are kept at a carefully controlled temperature (around 50°C–55°C). Your therapist will always test stone temperature on their own hands and confirm your comfort before placing them on your skin.

What is the difference between a standard Swedish massage and a hot stone massage?

A Swedish massage relies solely on therapist hand pressure. A hot stone massage uses heated basalt stones to deliver thermal energy into muscles, relaxing tight fibers much faster and deeper with less manual pressure.

What should I wear during a 60-minute hot stone massage?

You are draped securely with warm towels throughout your session. Most clients undress to their comfort level (wearing undergarments or removing them completely under proper draping).

Can anyone get a hot stone massage?

While hot stone massage is safe for most people, it is not recommended for pregnant individuals, people with high blood pressure, active skin infections, or open wounds due to the increased body heat.

How long does a 60-minute hot stone massage take?

The session lasts a full 60 minutes, providing comprehensive coverage across the back, legs, arms, shoulders, and neck.
