Hot Stone Massage
Smooth basalt stones, warmed and used to extend pressure and warmth into deeper layers without forcing the work.
What hot stone work is
Smooth basalt stones are warmed in water and used as extensions of the hands — placed along the back, calves, and feet, and held in the hands to stroke muscles with combined warmth and pressure. The heat allows muscles to release without the same level of mechanical pressure deep tissue would require for similar effect.
It’s a calmer-pace modality, but it’s not a relaxation-only session. The work goes deep — the warmth just gets you there gently.
Who this is for
- People who want deep-tissue benefit but find that pressure-only work creates too much soreness
- Anyone recovering from injury where strong pressure isn’t yet appropriate
- Cold-sensitive bodies — the warmth itself is the gift
- People who simply find warmth therapeutic and want a session built around it
A note
Hot stone is not appropriate if you have circulatory issues, are pregnant, have certain skin conditions, or are on medications that affect heat tolerance. Tell me before the session and we’ll route to a different modality if needed.
