stone massage

Hot rock therapy

Stone massage is a spa treatment in which smooth, heated stones are placed on the body or used to apply pressure during massage.

The warmth relaxes muscles and allows deeper tissue manipulation.

Cold stones are sometimes alternated with hot ones for contrast therapy.

Also called hot stone massage.
