Hot Stone Massage

When you hear the words ‘hot stone massage’ do you picture lying on a bed with stones balancing on your back for an hour while you gather your thoughts? At Phoenix Wellness the treatment is so much more than just hot stones and no, they don’t sit balanced on your back. Instead, they are actively used to give you a full back, leg, arm, and tummy massage. Pure heaven!

Our unique interpretation of the Hot Stone Massage will have you floating on air!

Basalt stones worn smooth by thousands of years of being polished by flowing water are placed in a stone heater and brought to a temperature of 45⁰ to 50⁰ Celsius. This is the ideal temperature range to warm your muscles without burning skin.

Unlike what you may have seen in spa photos, the stones are not left to sit in place on your body. Instead, the therapist holds the hot stones as she performs the massage, deftly cycling through a dozen stones exchanging cooling stones for hot ones. This ensures that the stones are at a consistent temperature throughout the treatment.
