How Does Hot Stone Therapy Work?
It is an ancient technique designed to combine three powerful elements: massage, heat, and the energy of the stones. We use special basalt stones that retain heat for a long time. During the procedure:
Stone Placement
Warm stones are placed on the body’s main energy centers (chakras) and areas of tension. Their weight and warmth begin to gently relax the muscles before the massage even begins.
Massage with Stones
The therapist uses other warm, oiled stones as an extension of their hands, performing long, flowing strokes. The heat penetrates deeper into the tissues than is possible with manual massage alone.
What Are the Benefits of Hot Stone Massage?
Deep Muscle Relaxation
The heat helps to release even the most tense, “hardened” muscles, reducing spasms and pain.
Improved Circulation
Heat expands blood vessels, activating circulation. This helps to better supply tissues with oxygen and nutrients while effectively removing toxins.
Reduced Stress and Anxiety
The enveloping warmth and rhythmic movements have a sedative effect, helping to slow down a racing mind and improve sleep quality.
Restored Energy Balance
It is believed that the stones help balance the body’s energy flows, leaving you feeling not only relaxed but also revitalized after the massage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the stones be too hot? Will they burn my skin?
Certainly not. Our therapists use a special heater that maintains the stones at an optimal and safe temperature. The therapist always tests the temperature of the stones before placing them on your body. You will feel a pleasant, comforting heat, not a burning sensation.
How does this differ from a regular relaxing massage?
The main difference is the impact of heat. The heat allows the therapist to reach deeper muscle layers and provides a much more profound sense of relaxation. Additionally, the weight and texture of the stones themselves add unique sensory elements to the experience.
Is the massage performed only with stones or also with hands?
It is a combination. The therapist uses both the stones (as an extension of their hands) and manual techniques to ensure the best results.
