What is Hot Stone Therapy?
Hot stone massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated basalt stones. Placed in key areas, the warmth and energy for the stones gives a soothing feeling while loosening stiff muscles. The result, coupled with the pressure of massage strokes, is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage which releases stress and creates a feeling of well being.
What Happens During a Hot Stone Massage?
Before you arrive, the massage therapist sanitizes the stones and heats them in 120 and 150 degree water.
The therapist uses traditional strokes of Swedish massage while holding a heated stone. As the stone cools, the therapist replaces it with another.
The therapist might also leave heated stones in specific points along your spine, or in the palms of your hand, or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy in your body.
If you have inflammation or muscle injury, cold stones are sometimes used.
How Much Does a Hot Stone Massage Cost?
A hot stone massage is more expensive than a basic Swedish massage because it requires more preparation and usually runs longer. A typical hot stone massage is $125, but the price can go higher.
What You Need To Know About Hot Stone Massage:
The therapist uses many stones of various shapes and sizes.
The heat of the stones helps muscles release more quickly than in traditional massage.
You should speak up if the stones are too warm or the pressure too intense.
Technique is very important. Less experienced practitioners sometimes use too much pressure.
Small local day spas might have less experienced therapists. If you have any doubts, ask where the therapist learned hot stone massage, and how long she has done it.
Hot stone massage was invented in 1993 by Mary Hannigan, a native of Tucson, Arizona. She has trademarked her particular style and calls it LaStone Therapy, but most spas offer their own versions.
