Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Hot Stone Massage.
Yes, most first-time clients tolerate hot stone well. We check medical history and skin sensitivity, adjust stone temperature, and tailor pressure. Inform your therapist about medications, pregnancy, or circulatory issues so we can modify or recommend alternatives.
Stones are warmed to a comfortable therapeutic temperature, typically between 120°F and 130°F (49°C–54°C). We always test stones and adjust heat to your comfort level; tell your therapist immediately if any temperature feels too warm.
Yes, many clients report reduced chronic back and neck pain as heat relaxes muscles, improves blood flow, and allows more effective manual techniques. Results vary; several sessions may be needed. Discuss your pain history so we can design the right plan.
Some conditions like uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes with neuropathy, open wounds, recent surgeries, fever, or pregnancy in first trimester may contraindicate hot stones. Always disclose medical history and current medications; your therapist will advise modifications or safer alternatives.
You can usually resume normal activities immediately, but rest is recommended after a hot stone add-on. Drink water, avoid intense exercise for several hours, and listen to your body. If you experience unusual soreness or dizziness, contact us or your healthcare provider.
No extensive preparation required. Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment, stay hydrated, and avoid heavy meals right before your session. Inform us of skin sensitivities, recent sunburn, or health concerns so we can adjust treatment and ensure your safety.
