Sessions typically last 60–90 minutes. Heated basalt stones are placed and used with therapeutic strokes to soothe muscles while promoting lymphatic flow. Expect deep warmth, gentle pressure, and tailored adjustments for your comfort.

Many clients feel immediate relaxation and reduced tension after one session. Noticeable pain relief and improved circulation usually develop over several treatments; a recommended series helps deliver lasting benefits and cumulative improvement.

Hot Stone therapy is generally safe, but not appropriate for uncontrolled hypertension, active infection, deep vein thrombosis, severe varicose veins, or neuropathy. Pregnant clients require modified care. Disclose medical history so clinicians can advise or modify treatment.

Hydrate well, avoid heavy meals or alcohol beforehand, and wear loose, comfortable clothing. Arrive early to complete a health screening and discuss preferences. Remove jewelry and inform your therapist about medications or sensitivities.

Treatments are intended to be soothing rather than painful. Heat provides deep, comforting warmth and therapists adjust pressure and stone temperature to your comfort. Mild soreness can occur afterward; communicate during the session for adjustments.

For acute pain or significant tension, weekly or biweekly sessions for several weeks are recommended. For maintenance and stress management, monthly visits often suffice. Your clinician will personalize frequency based on response and goals.
