Hot Stone Massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones. Heated smooth, flat stones are often basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well.

The stones are immersed in water and heated in an electric heating device until they are within a certain temperature range. The stones may be placed at specific points on the back, in the palms of the hand, or between the toes.

The heat warms and relaxes the muscles, which allows the therapist to apply deeper pressure, if desired.The warmth of the hot stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system.

It is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage. The heat helps tight muscles release.
