Hot Stone Therapy is a modern massage technique that draws upon ancient Native American traditions of using heated and cooled stones on the body. The stones used in a stone therapy treatment are naturally shaped and made from volcanic basalt. The heated basalt stones that are used in a hot stone treatment allow for a much deeper effect than with a conventional massage, and furthermore with minimum effort from the therapist! This treatment can add an extremely exciting dimension to a massage treatment, and it has been said that one stroke of a stone is equivalent to ten of the hand.
