Warm Basalt Stone Massage

Heated Basalt Stones That Soften Tension Before Hands Begin

Smooth basalt stones are warmed in water and used two ways: resting along the spine and in the palms, and held in the therapist’s hands as an extension of the massage itself. The heat does a lot of the early work, so the pressure can stay moderate and still reach deep.

This is our slowest, most enveloping treatment, and it is at its best on cold days or after a long stretch of stress. Every stone is cleaned and reheated between guests, and the temperature is checked by hand before it touches you. If anything ever feels too hot, it comes off right away.

Because warmth relaxes the tissue quickly, many guests who normally ask for deep pressure find they need less of it here. The session finishes with the stones removed and a few minutes of plain hand massage so your skin can cool gradually.

We keep the treatment room a little warmer for this session and bring a fresh towel for your face. Afterward, sip water, skip the sauna for the rest of the day and enjoy how loose your shoulders feel on the drive home.

Especially good for:

• Guests who always feel cold
• Tension that resists regular massage
• Winter visits and rainy afternoons
• A longer, slower treat for a special day
