What Is Hot Stone Massage?
Hot Stone Massage is a specialized massage therapy that combines traditional massage techniques with smooth basalt stones that are professionally heated to a comfortable therapeutic temperature. Basalt stones are commonly used because they naturally retain heat for extended periods.
During treatment, warm stones may be placed on specific areas of the body while others are used by the massage therapist as an extension of the hands to gently massage muscles and soft tissues. The warmth helps muscles relax more easily, allowing massage techniques to be performed comfortably while promoting a calming wellness experience.
At Strathcona Wellness, every Hot Stone Massage is customized according to your comfort level and individual wellness goals.
Potential benefits include:
- Deep muscle relaxation

- May support local warmth and comfort
- Relieves general muscle tension
- Promotes full-body relaxation

- May help you unwind before rest

The Benefits of Warm Stone Massage
Heat has been used for centuries as part of traditional wellness practices to promote relaxation and comfort. When warmth is gently applied to muscles, it may help relax tight muscles, increase local circulation, improve comfort during massage, reduce feelings of muscular stiffness, support flexibility, encourage overall relaxation, promote stress reduction, and create a calming spa experience.
Hot Stone Massage is especially popular during Alberta's colder months when many clients seek warmth, comfort, and stress relief.
