Hot stone massage
A hot stone massage combines calm manual work with the warmth of heated basalt stones. A choice for people who enjoy warmth and want to release tense muscles.
Treatment and recovery
Sensations during treatment
The treatment feels relaxing; what you mainly notice is the warmth of the stones and gentle, flowing pressure.
Return to everyday activities
No break from daily activities is needed; the skin may stay slightly red from the warmth for a short while.
Treatment plan
A single visit works as relaxation; with persistent tension the massage can be repeated regularly, at intervals matched to your needs.
What does a hot stone massage involve?
We work with smooth basalt stones warmed to a pleasantly hot temperature. They are placed on selected areas of the body and moved in flowing strokes, alternating with hands-on massage. Warmth makes it easier for the muscles to let go, so the treatment often feels deeper even though we keep the pressure calm and moderate.
Which option should you choose?
The “Back” option lasts 40 minutes and focuses on the back, neck and shoulder girdle, so it works well after desk work. The full-body options (60 and 90 minutes) also cover the legs and arms, and a longer visit leaves more time for unhurried work on every area. Stone temperature and pace are matched to your comfort.
Frequently asked questions about hot stone massage
Are the stones very hot?
The stones are heated in a controlled way and we check their temperature before they touch the skin. If the warmth feels too intense, tell us during the treatment and we will adjust both the temperature and the way we work.
When is another massage a better choice?
Pregnancy, diabetes, impaired sensation, vein conditions, inflammation, recent injuries or irritated skin require a consultation before a warming treatment. In some of those situations a classic or relaxing massage is the better option.
