Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone Massage combines Massage Therapy techniques with the use of heated stones to create a warm and relaxing treatment experience.

During a Hot Stone Massage, your RMT uses smooth, heated basalt stones, which may be placed on or used with gentle pressure on areas of the body. The stones may be incorporated into Swedish Massage techniques and used with massage oil, depending on the treatment approach and the patient’s preferences.

The warmth of the stones can be incorporated into an individualized Massage Therapy treatment to create a comfortable and relaxing experience. Your RMT will discuss your needs and preferences with you and determine whether Hot Stone Massage is an appropriate option as part of your care.

Hot Stone Massage may be available as part of your Massage Therapy treatment depending on the RMT’s education, training, experience, competence, and scope of practice.
