Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Hot Stone Massage – 60 Mins.

Yes. We perform a brief intake and adjust heat to your comfort; hot stone massage is safe for most first-time clients. Inform your therapist of medical conditions, medications, or skin issues so we can modify techniques or decline service when necessary.

Hydrate well, avoid heavy meals beforehand, and arrive a few minutes early to complete intake forms. Wear comfortable clothing and remove jewelry. Let your therapist know recent injuries, surgeries, or sensitivity so we can tailor heat and pressure accordingly.

Our therapists target the back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, and feet, using heated basalt stones to warm tight muscles. Stones may also be placed on key points to deepen relaxation. Pressure and focus are personalized to address your specific areas of tension.

Pregnant clients should consult their healthcare provider before booking. Hot stone massage is typically modified or avoided during the first trimester. After physician approval, we can offer pregnancy-safe adaptations that avoid the abdomen and use lower temperatures and gentler pressure.

Many clients feel relaxed immediately, with reduced muscle tension lasting days to weeks. Longevity depends on activity level, stress, and self-care. Regular sessions, stretching, hydration, and ergonomic adjustments help extend benefits and prevent reoccurrence of tightness.

Contraindications include uncontrolled high blood pressure, blood clotting disorders, recent surgery, open wounds, active infection, severe varicose veins, or neuropathy. Inform us about diabetes, cardiovascular issues, or medications. We will assess your suitability and recommend alternatives if needed.
