Heated Basalt Stone Therapy | Deep Warmth & Relaxation | From €70
What Is Hot Stone Massage?
Hot stone massage is a luxurious therapeutic technique that combines the healing power of heat with traditional massage strokes. Smooth, flat basalt stones are heated to a precise temperature (49-54°C) and placed on key points along the body — the spine, hands, belly, and between the toes — while the therapist uses additional warm stones as massage tools, gliding them along muscles with massage oil.
The warmth from the stones penetrates deep into muscle tissue, allowing the therapist to work more effectively with less pressure. This makes hot stone massage an excellent choice for people who prefer the benefits of deep tissue work but find regular deep tissue massage too intense. The stones also help expand blood vessels, promoting better circulation and faster healing. The combination of heat therapy and skilled massage creates an exceptionally relaxing experience that many clients describe as the most indulgent massage they have ever had.
