HOT STONE MASSAGE
Heated or hot stone massage is a type of treatment that uses warmed stones to relax muscles and induce a calming state of mind.
Intended to be extremely relaxing, a heated stone massage involves the placement of sanitized, warmed, smooth rocks (usually basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat) upon different parts of the body. Typically, the treatment is done in conjunction with traditional massage techniques, such as Swedish massage, and the stones may be used with applied pressure by the massage therapist during the treatment. Often, stones also are placed--and left for a period of time--on certain body parts such as the spine, hands or belly, and replaced once they cool. Cool stones may also be used to address muscle injury.
There is generally a $10-15 additional charge for hot stones depending on the length of the massage session. For a one hour hot stone the cost is $100. For our 90-minute combination hot stone and raindrop technique (called Rocks and Raindrop) is $130.
We have multiple massage therapists trained in hot stone massage.
