Hot Stone Massage

Hot stone massage uses heated volcanic (basalt) stones, placed at strategic points on the body and glided over the muscles. The heat dilates the blood vessels, deeply relaxes the muscles and enhances the effect of the strokes. It is one of the most relaxing techniques in massage therapy. A session lasts 60 to 90 minutes.
