Hot stone massage involves the application of water-heated stones of varying sizes to key points on the body, giving a deep penetrating massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. This direct heat relaxes muscles and is a less invasive way to work the deeper tissues.

Hot stone massage will often facilitate a healing improvement of the following symptoms (to name a few):

• Muscular aches, pains, sprains, and strains
• Poor circulation
• Rheumatic and arthritic conditions
• Fibromyalgia
• MS
• Back pain
• Stress, anxiety and tension
• Insomnia
• Depression

Application of the hot stones will typically allow the massage therapist to work deeper layers of tissue and muscles with less discomfort to the client.
