A hot stone massage is a normal massage with one amazing difference. The therapist uses hot stones (Usually made from a volcanic rock called Basalt) and places them on certain parts on the body. They can be placed on the back, stomach, hands, and feet. ​

​

Before the stones are placed on the body, they are placed in hot water. After they have been on the body for a while, the therapist will massage the warm stones into the muscles to further relieve tension making you feel even more relaxed.
