About Hot Stone Massage
Our Hot Stone Massage combines the relaxation benefits of traditional massage with the therapeutic warmth of smooth, heated volcanic stones. This 60-minute treatment in our tranquil Boardman spa room uses carefully heated stones placed on specific points of your body and as massage tools to enhance relaxation, improve circulation, and melt away deeper muscle tension. The gentle heat allows muscles to relax more quickly and deeply than traditional massage alone.

What Makes Hot Stone Massage Special
Enhanced Relaxation
The warmth of the stones helps muscles relax more deeply and quickly than traditional massage, allowing for a more profound relaxation experience.
Improved Circulation
Heat therapy increases blood flow, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to your muscles while helping remove metabolic waste.
Stress Relief
The combination of heat and gentle pressure creates a uniquely calming experience that helps reduce stress and anxiety.

What to Expect During Your Hot Stone Massage
Pre-Treatment Consultation (5 minutes)
Your session begins with a consultation about your health history, any areas of tension, and your heat sensitivity. Kim will explain how the hot stones work and ensure you're comfortable with the temperature before beginning.
Stone Preparation & Setup (10 minutes)
While you prepare on the massage table, Kim heats smooth volcanic stones to the perfect temperature. These stones are cleaned and sanitized between each client and heated in a specialized stone heater to ensure optimal therapeutic temperature.
The Hot Stone Experience (45 minutes)
Kim begins by placing heated stones on specific points of your body (along your spine, in your palms, between your toes) while using other warmed stones as massage tools. The heat penetrates deeply into your muscles while gentle massage techniques enhance the relaxation. She'll check in about temperature comfort throughout the session.
Cool Down & Integration
As the session concludes, the stones are gradually removed and you're given time to rest and integrate the experience. The deep warmth and relaxation often continue for hours after your treatment.

How hot are the stones and will they burn me?
The stones are heated to approximately 120-130°F, which feels warm and soothing rather than burning hot. Kim tests every stone before use and will adjust temperature based on your sensitivity. The stones should feel comfortably warm, and she'll check with you throughout the treatment.
What if I'm sensitive to heat or have health conditions?
Hot stone massage may not be suitable for everyone, including those with diabetes, heart conditions, pregnancy, or heat sensitivity. During your consultation, Kim will review your health history and determine if this treatment is appropriate for you, or suggest alternatives.
How is this different from regular relaxation massage?
While both focus on relaxation, hot stone massage uses heated volcanic stones to enhance the experience. The warmth helps muscles relax more deeply and quickly, improves circulation more effectively, and provides a uniquely luxurious spa experience that many find more deeply relaxing than traditional massage.
What should I expect to feel during and after the treatment?
During the massage, you'll feel deep warmth penetrating your muscles, profound relaxation, and often a sense of melting tension. Afterward, most clients feel deeply relaxed, sometimes slightly drowsy, and often experience improved sleep and reduced muscle tension for several days.
Are the stones cleaned between clients?
Yes, absolutely. All stones are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with medical-grade disinfectant between every client. We maintain the highest standards of hygiene and safety, and stones are heated in a professional stone heater that also helps with sanitation.
