What is Hot Stone Massage?
Hot stone massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones. They
are often basalt, (We use basalt at Massage M.C.) a black volcanic rock that absorbs
and retains heat well. It is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage. The heat
helps tight muscles release.

How Much Does a Hot Stone Massage Cost?
A hot stone massage is more expensive than a basic Swedish massage because it
requires more preparation and usually runs longer. A typical hot stone massage is
$125, but the price can go higher. We charge $110.00 at Massage M.C. and often
run Specials on this treatment.
What You Need To Know About Hot Stone Massage:
Hot stone massage was invented in 1993 by Mary Hannigan, a native of Tucson,
Arizona. She has trademarked her particular style and calls it LaStone Therapy, but
most spas offer their own versions.
A Little Bit of History:
Although Hot Stone Massage is said to be recently invented, the Natives have used
Stones to heal the body for centuries. They are the Sacred Stone People. They
are the bringers of Wisdom, Knowledge and Strength and have vary many healing
powers available. Chapette Hetas
Here is the definition for the basalt stone properties.....Basalt is an igneous volcanic
rock (produced under conditions of intense heat) and solidified from molten lava.
The colour ranges from grey to black. It can provide one with the strength to
continue through difficult times and can produce solidarity in ones life. It can be quite
useful in dissipating anger and can provide understanding and guidance in situations
which require one to "bounce back". It is a mineral to help one through changes and
to provide stability to ones life. It also assists in diminishing the negative aspects of
ones character, promoting positive modifications of ones behavior. It can be used in
the treatment of the reproductive system, to enhance fertility, and to help one in the
development of muscle structures.

What Happens During a Hot Stone Massage?
- Before you arrive, the massage therapist sanitizes the stones with Natural
essential oils and smudge with white sage; and heats them in 120 and 135
degree water.
- The therapist uses traditional strokes of Swedish massage while holding a
heated stone. As the stone cools, the therapist replaces it with another.
- The therapist might also leave heated stones in specific points along your
spine, or in the palms of your hand, or even between your toes to improve the
flow of energy in your body.
- If you have inflammation or muscle injury, cold stones are sometimes used.
