A Warm Stone Massage, or Hot Stone Massage, involves applying water-heated basalt stones of varying sizes to key points on the body. These give a deep massage and create sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles, allowing greater manipulation than with regular massage.

During a Warm Stone Massage, smooth, glossy basalt river stones are heated and placed along the side of your spine to warm your muscles and relax them. Then, several warmed stones are used to massage your body, enhancing the feeling of relaxation and inducing inner calm.

The hot stones expand the blood vessels, pushing blood and unwanted waste materials through the body. This has a calming effect on the nervous system. A deep melting sensation permeates through your body as it soaks up the delicious heat, and you feel a sense of serenity.
