Technique and stones used
Warm basalt stones are gently heated and used both as a massage tool and as a resting point on the body. Therapists glide the smooth stones across muscles, then place them on key points to transfer heat and encourage deep release. This 90 MINUTES treatment sequences stone work and hands-on massage to address sustained tension.
Throughout the session the therapist alternates stone placements with manual techniques, adapting pressure and pace to your comfort. Stones are used across the body and on focused areas identified during intake; placements are adjusted if you prefer different coverage. Communicate any sensitivity so the therapist can modulate warmth and pressure within comfort limits.
What clients typically feel
Expect a persistent, comforting warmth as stones glide and rest; many clients notice a sense of sinking relaxation rather than sharp changes. The combination of heat and slow, deliberate movement helps muscles feel more pliable during the 90 MINUTES session, which allows therapists time to work through deeper tension without rushing.
Comfort and safety are managed through ongoing communication; tell your therapist about skin sensitivity, recent injuries, or pregnancy so placements and pressure are adapted. This treatment is not a medical procedure, so therapists will avoid any approach that causes pain and will suggest alternatives if heat feels uncomfortable.
