Get answers to common questions about Hot Stone Infusion.

Hot Stone Infusion uses smooth, warmed basalt stones placed on and used alongside massage techniques. The heat relaxes muscles and increases circulation, allowing the therapist to work deeper with less pressure and enhance overall relaxation and therapeutic benefit.

Hot Stone Infusion is generally safe for many clients, but it is not appropriate for certain conditions. People with diabetes, neuropathy, uncontrolled high blood pressure, varicose veins, recent surgery, open wounds, or heat sensitivity should consult our therapist or their physician first.

Our Hot Stone Infusion add-on commonly runs about 20 minutes, integrated into your massage to target key areas. Longer options (30 minutes) are available by request or as part of extended sessions to address deeper tension.

Stones are warmed to a comfortable therapeutic temperature — never scalding. Your therapist checks temperature and monitors comfort throughout the session. Communicate immediately if anything feels too warm so adjustments can be made.

The heat and increased circulation can ease chronic muscle tension and reduce pain for many clients. It is not a substitute for medical care; for acute injuries or inflammation, consult your healthcare provider and inform your therapist so treatment is adapted.

Hydrate well beforehand, avoid heavy meals immediately before your appointment, and arrive a few minutes early. Inform your therapist of medical conditions, medications, or pregnancy so stones, temperature, and techniques can be safely tailored.
