Hot stone massage: what to expect from your first session
From heating the stones to the after-session, a step-by-step guide so you arrive at ease.
The technique uses smooth stones, usually basalt, heated to a controlled temperature and placed on points of the body or held in the therapist's hands during the massage.
Before starting, the therapist will usually ask about heat sensitivity, injuries, and pressure preferences. Answer honestly: that is what allows the session to be tailored to your body.
Drink water afterward, avoid demanding commitments right after, and, if possible, set aside a few calm minutes before returning to your routine.
