Get answers to common questions about Hot Stone Massage – 90 Min.

Your therapist uses warmed basalt stones placed and glided across muscles, alternating with hands-on massage. Expect deep warmth, gentle pressure, and focused work on tension areas for increased relaxation and relief during the full ninety-minute treatment.

Generally safe for healthy adults, but not recommended for pregnant clients, people with certain skin conditions, open wounds, blood-clotting disorders, or uncontrolled high blood pressure. Always disclose medical history so therapists can adjust heat and technique.

Arrive hydrated, avoid heavy meals and alcohol beforehand, and wear comfortable clothing. Remove jewelry and communicate any areas of sensitivity or medical concerns so your therapist can tailor temperature and pressure for comfort.

Therapists monitor stone temperature and your comfort continuously. Stones are warm, not scalding, and pressure can be adjusted. Speak up immediately if it feels too hot or uncomfortable and your therapist will modify the treatment.

Immediate relaxation and reduced muscle tension can last days to weeks depending on lifestyle and stress. Regular sessions extend benefits; combining massage with stretching, hydration, and self-care helps maintain improved circulation and flexibility.

Pregnancy requires special precautions; many spas avoid hot stone therapy during pregnancy, especially the first trimester. Consult your prenatal provider and inform us—therapists can recommend safer alternatives like prenatal massage.
