This treatment blends traditional massage therapy techniques with the deep, soothing heat of smooth basalt stones. The warmth helps muscles relax faster, allowing your therapist to work more effectively—one pass with a hot stone can have the same effect as up to eight passes with hands alone. Hot stones can enhance circulation, release stubborn tension, and support treatment of issues like tendinitis, scar tissue, and trigger points. They’re especially helpful for those with fibromyalgia, chronic pain, or high stress levels. Whether you're looking to ease specific discomfort or simply unwind, hot stone massage offers a deeply restorative and therapeutic experience.
When performed by an RMT, Hot Stone Massage is likely to be covered under most Extended Health Benefit Plans.
