Hot stone massage heats away tension, easing muscle stiffness and improving circulation. Hot stone massage sessions promote a deeper muscle relaxation through the placement of smooth, water-heated stones at key points on the body. Our professional massage therapists also incorporate a customized massage along with the use of hot stones which offers enhanced benefits. The idea behind a hot stone massage is that the direct heat of the stones relaxes the muscles, allowing our therapist access to their deeper layers. Combining hot stones with a full body massage provides a very healing and effective experience. The hot stones also expand the blood vessels, which encourages blood flow throughout the body. The hot stones have a sedative effect that can relieve chronic pain, reduce stress and promote deep relaxation. They can also provide relief from pain associated with fibromyalgia, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and other chronic conditions.
