Hot Stone Massage – Delight Your Senses

Discover a whole new level of stress control, pain reduction and more restful sleep with a Hot Stone Massage. In winter, the contrast between the cold weather outside and the purifying massage with heated stones gives you a unique, healing experience. Reminiscent of Swedish massage, the circular, rolling strokes, light tapping and gentle kneading relaxes and rejuvenates. Your tired, achy joints, muscles and tendons will feel renewed. You’ll love this unique massage any time of the year.

Hot Stone Massage Blends Warmth and Touch

In some ways, Hot Stone Massage is a misnomer. The Basalt river rocks generally used in this form of bodywork are not really hot at all. Chosen for their ability to absorb heat evenly, these stones are just a tad above warm with temperatures between 110- and 130-degrees Fahrenheit. The feeling is stimulating yet comforting.

Hot Stone Massage — The Ultimate in Relaxation

At Beauty Bar Med Spa, our certified therapists will have you almost in a dream-like state for the hour or ninety minutes of your session. Warm stones are heated in a special oven. On the massage table, you lie on either your stomach or back. After the stones reach the right temperature, your massage therapist skillfully and strategically places them on your back, spine, your extremities or even on your forehead. The heat should evolve into a gentle warming sensation— not a smoldering burn. If, at any time, you feel burning, let your massage therapist know immediately.

Hot Stone Massage Updates an Ancient Indian Tradition

Hot Stone massage is part of the ancient Indian Ayurvedic massage tradition. This practice combines massage, hot oils and soothing music into a therapeutic practice which pays special attention to the body’s pressure points known as chakras. Thousands of years ago, Indian healers had a detailed understanding of how bad energy poisons the body with blocked organs, tendons and muscles while good energy opens up pathways to good health. Hot Stone massage derives directly from this blending of the spiritual and therapeutic traditions.

Check With Your Doctor

A Hot Stone massage surprises you with an amazing sensory experience. But if you have diabetes or a tendency towards blood clots or sensitive skin that is susceptible to burns, Hot Stone massage may not be the best choice for you. We advise you to consult your doctor before undergoing this form of massage. If you get the go-ahead from your doctor and you still have questions; the experienced staff at Beauty Bar Med Spa will be happy to answer them prior to your session.
