A hot stone massage session is a type of body massage that uses carefully heated stones placed on the body in addition to massage to help you relax and ease tense muscles and injured soft tissues. The stones are often coated in oil to help them glide smoothly over the skin and enhance the massage.
The smooth, flat stones used are made of basalt, which is a type of volcanic rock that is rich in iron and helps to retain heat.
The warm stones help to relax your muscles, allowing deeper pressure to be applied during the massage. The benefits include:

Be sure to drink plenty of water after your session to aid detoxification and maximise the benefits.
