Hot Stone Massage

How is our Hot Stone Massage different from our competitors?
Performing a hot stone massage is more than simply placing hot stones on someone’s back. The first thing you need to know is no one should ever be laying hot stones on your skin and leaving them. When massage therapists do this, I like to call it a recipe for disaster.
Hot stones are by their very nature, are hot, and they should never be left unattended, even if just for a few seconds. Unfortunately, the practice of laying super-hot stones on people’s skin has become a common practice. Few massage therapists are trained in school on how to properly perform a hot stone massage, and many end up emulating what they see in photographs, which is the wrong way to learn.
A properly performed hot stone massage should be an extension of the therapist’s technique, not a replacement of it. This means the therapist should be holding the stones in their hand and gliding them across your skin. If the stone is too hot to hold in their hand, it is too hot to be used on you.
- We never lay and leave the hot stones on your body. Many of our competitors do this and it is dangerous. I have known many people who have suffered first, and second degree burns from therapists who absent mindedly left a hot stone on someone’s back too long. This is unacceptable and these burns would never occur if the therapist knew how to properly perform hot stone massage. At Jennifer Brand we use the stones as an extension of our technique, this allows us to enhance the therapeutic benefit of our sessions with the warmth provided by the hot stone.
- We use hot packs to provide additional warmth and comfort. Some massage therapists use the stones as a means to warm up the tissues by placing the stones either directly on the skin or on a towel. Once again, we believe this practice is dangerous and unprofessional. If you would enjoy some added warmth to your session, we can always place a complementary hot towel or hot pack on your back.
- Some of our therapists may include cold stones in a hot stone massage. Cold stones create a fascinating contrast that further accentuates the pleasure of the session. For example, Shawn White likes to use cold stones when an area is hypersensitive, ticklish, or inflamed. He will, of course, always request your permission to use cold stones before applying them. When cold stones are used, the therapist will typically use warm or hot stones afterward to help ensure you feel warm and toasty.
- Hot Stone Massage is used in conjunction with Swedish Massage techniques. This means your therapist will utilize various methods throughout your session to help you achieve your desired results. Sometimes the continuous application of hot stone massage can be too much, both for you and the therapist. Using this hybrid approach encourages variety in the session, which reduces the likelihood the sensations become boring. We want every second of your massage to be spectacular. This is achieved by integrating the expertise of your therapist’s techniques when appropriate.
- We use the silkiest sheets and the softest blankets. Our competitors normally use medical grade sheets that are rough and provide the lowest degree of comfort. When it’s time to receive a massage, every second should be sensational, especially that first moment when you slide between the sheets. When you are at our spa, we want you to feel magnificent every moment of your massage.
- The stated service length is the actual duration. The big-name locations throughout O’Fallon provide a maximum of 50 minutes in each session, sometimes less if the therapist starts late or ends early. Our honest and transparent service policy applies to all of our services, because we believe you deserve the service time you have paid for.
- All of our therapists provide a customized massage session. No two treatment sessions are ever the same. This is because your needs change from visit to visit and so too should your massage.
- Our therapists specialize in various massage modalities. This means you will experience techniques and approaches you probably have never experienced before. This opens the doorway for you to enjoy new sensations and greater results. Some therapists may even include a sampling of various addons into your treatment for free. Shawn, for example, often includes the application of cold stones in focused areas, hot bamboo, and he may even paint you with hot oil at the start of your Swedish Massage.
- We use the highest quality oil, creams, and lotions. Some therapists may even use cocoa butter, shea butter and an array of liniments. At Jennifer Brand we provide our therapists with the ability to customize their massage sessions to meet the needs of their unique style and your needs as our valued guest.
- All of our massage tables are custom designed by Custom Craftworks, a United States manufacturing company dedicated to providing the highest quality and comfortable treatment tables in the industry. When you lie on one of our tables you will experience the difference.
