Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Relaxing Massage with Hot Stone.

Expect a brief consultation about medical history and preferences, followed by heated basalt stones placed and used with Swedish-style strokes. Therapists adjust temperature and pressure to comfort. Sessions combine warmth and rhythmic massage to melt tension; allow time afterward to rehydrate and relax.

If you have sensitive skin, we perform a consultation and may test oil and stone temperature first. Therapists use lower heat, gentler pressure, and alternative techniques if needed. Disclose allergies or reactions so we can customize a safe, soothing treatment for you.

Typical bookings are 60 or 90 minutes, with most clients choosing 90 minutes for full-body stone work and extra relaxation. Allow 10–15 minutes for arrival and consultation. Longer sessions provide more time on tense areas and deeper release.

Pregnancy requires special care. We recommend avoiding hot stone treatments during the first trimester and advising clients to consult their physician. Modified, gentler sessions may be available later in pregnancy; therapists will avoid direct abdominal or lower-back stone placement.

Certain conditions may preclude hot stone therapy, including uncontrolled high blood pressure, diabetes with neuropathy, blood clotting disorders, recent surgery, infection, open wounds, or fever. Always disclose health issues; we'll recommend alternatives like a gentle Swedish massage if hot stones aren't appropriate.

Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early, hydrate well, and avoid heavy meals. Wear comfortable clothing and bring relevant medical information or medications. Communicate preferences and sensitivities during consultation so your therapist can tailor stone temperature and pressure for optimal comfort.
