A hot stone massage is the type of massage that takes guests into a deeper state of relaxation as the therapist works to relieve muscle pain and tension. Smooth and flat heated stones, usually made of basalt that retains heat are placed on specific parts of the body. The heat within the rocks relaxes the muscles, making them more pliable and the massage more effective.
