Experience the perfect union of therapeutic relief and indulgent relaxation with our Hot Stone Massage Therapy — a treatment that harnesses the power of heat to unwind the body and restore balance.

This specialized technique uses heated basalt stones, a dense volcanic rock known for its superior ability to retain warmth. Smooth and gently weighted, the stones are either placed strategically on key points of the body and/or used in flowing massage strokes to penetrate deep into the muscle tissue. The warmth enhances circulation, softens tight muscles, and encourages the release of chronic tension, while traditional massage techniques work in tandem to ease trigger points and reduce overall discomfort.

Ideal for those experiencing muscular tightness, stress, or fatigue, this treatment offers both physiological benefits and profound sensory relaxation. The soothing heat not only supports increased blood flow and lymphatic movement, but also helps regulate the nervous system, making it a powerful tool for holistic healing.

Whether you're seeking relief from sore muscles or simply a deeper level of relaxation, Hot Stone Massage Therapy delivers a luxurious, restorative experience for body and mind.

History:

The earliest use of hot stones to improve health and relaxation took place in India. The practice began among the Hindus in India approximately 5,000 years ago, and was called Ayurveda. This involved the placement of stones on the body to relax tense muscles and relieve related pain.

Around 3,000 years later, the Chinese used shaped stones called Bian while burning mugwort to treat disease. They also placed stones on the abdomen to improve digestion.

Later, natives of the Sandwich Islands - what we now know as Hawaii - discovered that wrapping heated lava rocks in leaves and applying them to the body brought pain relief. The leaves were administered by medicine shamans calls Kahunas.

Heated stones then found their way to the Native American sweat lodges. Though the stones weren’t applied to the body, the natives recognized that the heat produced by the stones eased tense muscles and brought whole-body relaxation.

Modern-day use of hot stone massage is varied to suit many different needs. Usually the stones are usually heated in hot water and replaced as they cool, but they may also be chilled and alternated with the heated ones, which increases circulation to the targeted muscle. If the therapist uses the stone itself to massage, it may be coated in oil or used over a sheet to facilitate a smooth glide across the skin.
