Common Questions
What kind of stones are used?
We use smooth basalt stones—a volcanic rock that retains heat exceptionally well. Each stone is carefully selected for its shape and size to fit different body areas perfectly.
Can the stones burn me?
No. Our stones are heated to a carefully controlled therapeutic temperature and always tested before placement. Your therapist continuously monitors your comfort. If any stone feels too warm, let us know immediately and we'll adjust.
Is hot stone massage better than regular massage?
It's not 'better'—it's different. The heat allows therapists to work deeper with less pressure, making it ideal for people who want deep work without intense pressure. It's also more relaxing due to the thermotherapy component.
