The Hot stone massage is a variation on classic massage therapy in which heated smooth flat stones are placed on key points of the body. The massage therapist may also hold the stones and use them to massage certain areas of the body. The warmth of the hot stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system.

The Massage Therapist often begins by applying oil to the body, which allows the hot stones to glide smoothly along the muscles. The Hot Stone massage is indicated for a variety of health conditions such as:

• Back aches and pains
• Poor circulation
• Arthritis
• Osteoarthritis
• Tension due to stress and anxiety
