What is Hot Stone Massage?

During a hot stone therapy session, smooth water-heated stones are carefully applied to key points on the body. The direct heat of the stones relaxes the muscles which means that the massage itself is more effective and deeper penetrating than your average massage. The sizes of the stones vary depending on the part of the body that is being massaged. The stones are coated in oil, allowing them to glide smoothly along the body.

This is a massage that not only feels amazing but also disintegrates muscle knots. It boosts circulation, recharges energy and, most importantly, relaxes you! It is said to help people with muscular pain, poor circulation, rheumatic and arthritic conditions, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, stress, insomnia and depression.

Note: Let your esthetician know prior to treatment if you have any medical conditions or if you are/think you are pregnant so that the treatment can be tailored to fit your needs.

Like a regular massage, a hot stone treatment goes hand-in-hand with the Aroma-Steam shower to completely ease you into your spa experience.
