What is Warm Stone Massage?

Warm Stone Massage is a type of relaxing massage therapy that uses smooth, heated stones to apply on specific points on the body while massaging. With the heat and weight of the stones, it enhances the better experience of relaxation to the muscles, allowing the therapists to apply deeper pressure to those areas without causing discomfort.

The hallmark of hot stone massage is the use of heated stones. Basalt river rocks are typically used because they are smooth (from the river's current) and retain heat well. While massage therapists often use anatomy to guide the placement of the stones, some therapists will also place stones on points thought to energetically balance the mind and body.

How It Works

Smooth heated stones with slight pressure on specific points of the body allow muscle warm-up and relaxation.

While the points may vary depending on the areas of muscle tension and health history, the stones are generally placed in the following areas:
· Along both sides of the spine
· In the palms of your hand
· On your legs, abdomen, feet
And small stones may be placed between the toes or on the forehead.

1. Stones will be preheated to below 43°C
2. Massage oil will be rubbed onto the stones before use
