Welcome to our hot stone massage FAQ. If you are looking for answers to your questions, you are in the right place.
Your therapist may use basalt, marble, jade, Himalayan salt stones, or heated bamboo. Some therapists may also integrate cold stones or ice massage for additional variety and targeted relief.
Yes. Hot stone massage is typically performed in conjunction with modified Swedish massage techniques.
Cold stones may be used to contrast with hot stones. They are particularly helpful for hypersensitive, ticklish, or inflamed areas. Therapists always ask for your permission before using them and follow up with warm stones to ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed.
Yes, stones can become very warm—sometimes hot enough to burn. If a stone is too hot to hold in the therapist’s hand, it is too hot to be used on your skin. If a hot stone is left unattended on your body, you should carefully remove it to avoid burns. At Jennifer Brand, we never place and leave hot stones on your body. We always use them to massage you.
No. The stones should always be used as a tool within your therapist’s hands.
A hot stone massage is a relaxation service that uses heated stones to encourage improved wellbeing and pain relief.
