Understanding your care
Hot stone massage is a massage therapy approach that uses carefully warmed stones alongside manual massage techniques. The heat is typically applied to selected areas of the body and may help create a sense of comfort and relaxation during the treatment.
Your massage therapist can discuss your goals, areas of concern and comfort with heat before the session begins. Pressure, stone placement and the focus of the massage may be adjusted based on your preferences and clinical considerations.
Hot stone massage may be considered by people seeking a relaxing massage experience or support for general muscle tension. It is important to share relevant health information, including changes in sensation, skin concerns, circulation concerns, pregnancy or recent illness, so the treatment can be approached appropriately.
