Hot Stone Massage is a therapeutic massage technique that uses smooth, heated stones placed on specific parts of the body to help relax muscles, improve circulation, and relieve tension. The stones, usually made of basalt—a type of volcanic rock known for retaining heat well—are warmed to a comfortable temperature and strategically placed along energy centers or problem areas.

During the massage, the therapist may also use the heated stones as an extension of their hands, gliding them over muscles to deeply penetrate and soothe tightness. The warmth from the stones helps increase blood flow, promotes relaxation, and eases stiffness, making it easier to work on deep muscle tissue.

This type of massage is especially beneficial for people with chronic pain, stress, or muscle spasms, as the heat combined with massage techniques helps release tension both physically and mentally. Hot Stone Massage creates a calming and restorative experience that leaves you feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and balanced.
