Therapeutic hot stone treatment is a combination of traditional hot stone (geothermal therapy) and Swedish massage. The stones used are a mix of basalt and marble. The basalt stones are a type of smooth volcanic rock, perfect for retaining heat throughout treatment, and are heated in a sanitizing water bath. The marble stones are a naturally cool, smooth stone and can be optionally used to offer contrasting geothermal therapy. If you’ve never had a hot stone treatment before, this is truly a deeply relaxing and therapeutic total experience. During treatment, the stones are both balanced on your body, as well as used in the RMT’s hands to massage with. Stones will be placed on the areas of your body holding the most tension, to offer a static, concentrated heat to allow a deep relaxation and relief in the muscles, allowing the tension to melt away. This release then allows the RMT to manually massage the area further using both stones and hands to release any tricky knots or restrictions. Initially, the hot stones are moved more quickly across the skin, allowing time for the body to acclimatize to the heat. As the stones begin to cool slightly; slower, and more specific work can be done.
