Get "Stoned" for Deep Relaxation

Even though summer weather is heating up, one of the most enjoyable spa experiences out there is the hot stone massage. A specialty massage using smooth basalt stones, a black volcanic rock that retains heat well, the hot stone massage is deeply soothing and calming. Stones are sanitized and heated in water before being placed on acupressure locations along the body. The weight and warmth of the stones will relax the muscles, melt away knots and tension, and alleviate stress, while additional stones are used to massage the muscles. This is truly a pampering experience, and one that even massage therapists crave.
