Hot Stones Massage

What is Hot Stones Massage?

Hot Stones Massage combines the warmth of smooth basalt volcanic stones with tailored massage techniques to help soften muscular tension and encourage deep relaxation.

The heat from the stones helps warm and relax the muscles, allowing your therapist to work comfortably into areas of built-up tension. The stones can be placed on the body and used directly during the massage, creating a soothing combination of warmth, pressure and flowing massage movements.

At YOU Massage, your Hot Stones Massage is tailored to how your body is feeling on the day. Depending on your needs, your therapist can combine the warmth of the stones with relaxing or deeper massage techniques to create a treatment that feels both comforting and effective.

Essential oils can also be incorporated into your treatment for an additional sense of relaxation and wellbeing.

What to Expect from your Treatment

Your appointment will begin with a consultation so your therapist can understand how you are feeling and identify any areas where you would particularly like to focus.

The treatment begins with massage to warm the body before the heated stones are introduced. Your therapist will use the stones alongside their hands, working through the muscles with flowing movements and appropriate pressure.

The warmth allows the muscles to soften while creating a deeply comforting sensation. Your therapist can adapt the treatment between gentle, relaxing techniques and firmer work according to your preferences and needs.

Expect to leave feeling warm, relaxed and beautifully restored, with a sense of release throughout the body.
