You’ll begin with a brief consultation, then warmed basalt stones are placed and used with massage strokes across your body. Expect alternating heat and hands-on techniques, mindful breathing, and a calm environment designed for extended deep relaxation and tension release.

Generally safe when stones and oils are monitored closely, but sensitive skin may react to heat or products. Tell your therapist about sensitivities; they’ll adjust temperature, pressure, and product choices or offer alternative techniques to protect your skin.

Arrive hydrated and avoid heavy meals or alcohol beforehand. Wear comfortable clothing, remove jewelry, and communicate any injuries or medical concerns. Plan time after the massage to rest and let the therapeutic heat continue working without rushing into intense activity.

Contraindications include uncontrolled hypertension, fever, infection, recent surgery, deep vein thrombosis, certain skin conditions, and some stages of pregnancy. Always disclose medications and medical history so your therapist can determine safety or suggest alternatives.
