A hot stone massage is a Swedish (regular) massage that uses hot volcanic stones. The stones are placed on different acupressure points on your body to help warm and relax your muscles, allowing your masseuse to apply deeper pressure and maximise muscle tension release. The stones may be placed along your spine, on your stomach, chest, face, hands, feet and/or toes. Hot stone massages are used to treat pain and to promote relaxation. Cold stones may be used too, to aid detoxing and healing.

Because hot stone massages release toxins in your muscles, it’s common to experience dizziness, nausea, tiredness, and headaches. You may need to urinate more often, too as a result of your lymph flushing out toxins. You can alleviate the side effects by drinking plenty of water. You shouldn’t experience any burning or negative side effects if you book with an experienced professional.

Hot stone massage relieves deep muscle tension, improves circulation, reduces stress and anxiety, eases symptoms of conditions like fibromyalgia, promotes better sleep, and creates a profoundly relaxing experience. The heat allows the therapist to work more deeply without added pressure.
