Hot Stone Massage in Washington D.C.

Hot stone massage is a specialty massage where the therapist uses smooth, heated stones, either as an extension of their own hands, or by placing them on the body while they massage other parts of the body. The stones are placed at specific points on the back, in the palms of the hand, or on the feet. The heat is deeply relaxing, helping to warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work more deeply, more quickly.

Combining hot stone protocols with a full body massage provides a very healing and effective experience. You may add aromatherapy essential oils to your hot stone massage to enhance your experience. Just be sure to let your therapist know before your appointment begins. Hot stone massage is perfect for people who tend to feel chilly or who have cold feet!
