Get answers to common questions about Hot Stone Massage - 90 Mins.

During the 90-minute session you'll receive warmed basalt stones applied and gliding massage strokes combined with hands-on therapy. Expect deep relaxation, sustained heat penetration, targeted tension release, and time for rest. Pressure and temperature are adjusted to your comfort throughout.

Arrive hydrated and avoid heavy meals or alcohol before your appointment. Wear comfortable clothing and remove jewelry. Inform your therapist about medical history, skin issues, or sensitivities so stones and pressure can be tailored for a safe, effective session.

Certain conditions like pregnancy (first trimester), uncontrolled high blood pressure, diabetes with neuropathy, recent surgery, active infections, open wounds, or severe varicose veins may contraindicate treatment. Always disclose health concerns and consult your physician if unsure.

Stones are warmed to safe, comfortable temperatures and tested before use. Your therapist will check in frequently; you should never feel pain. Speak up if heat or pressure is uncomfortable and adjustments will be made immediately.

Hot stone adds warm stones and longer thermal contact to standard massage techniques, allowing deeper muscle release with less pressure. The heat enhances circulation and relaxation, creating a more restorative, intensive experience than a typical Swedish session.

Drink plenty of water to support circulation and detoxification, rest and avoid strenuous exercise for the remainder of the day, and apply gentle stretching if advised. Contact us if you notice unusual soreness or prolonged skin irritation.
