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.
Many people find the warmth of the hot stones to be comforting. Hot stone massage perfectly is suited to people who tend to feel chilly or who have cold feet. It's also well suited for people who have muscle tension but prefer a lighter massage. The heat relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist to work the muscles without using deep pressure. Warm muscle tissue is easier to address, manipulate and massage. Using hot stones to warm the tissue is grounding for the client. It allows the massage therapist to work deeper without causing pain.
