A hot stone massage is the act of placing smooth, flat, heated stones on specific parts of your body. They are made up of a type of volcanic rock that retains heat called basalt and are heated to about 140 degrees. It is the localized heat and weight of the stones that helps to relax your muscles and allows for the licensed massage therapist to apply deeper pressure without causing discomfort.

These stones should be placed on your:

Spine
Stomach
Chest
Face
Palms
Feet and toes.
