A 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.

What it is
Most of the hour is spent on the table while the therapist works through the areas you’ve agreed to focus on — pressure, pace and techniques shifting as they go — with a brief check-in before and after so you leave knowing what was worked on.
