Hot Stone Therapy Massage

Tracy will warm the stones in water until they are within the precise temperature range of between 120 and 130 degrees Fahrenheit.

Our hot stone massage may begin with a traditional massage technique to prepare your muscles. Tracy will then place the warm stones on key acupressure points on your body. The stones warm and relax your muscles, allowing deeper pressure to be applied during your massage.

Using specially formulated massage oil and a combination of strokes and techniques, your Tracy will massage your neck, back, arms and legs, with and without the stones. You should always tell Tracy if the stones are too warm or the pressure is too intense.

If it is your first time at the spa you’ll be asked to complete a pre-treatment health questionnaire. Avoid eating a heavy meal or drinking alcohol prior to the treatment.

Hot stone therapy is not recommended for everyone, especially anyone with high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, varicose veins, migraines, rheumatoid arthritis, decreased pain sensitivity, recent wounds, areas of weakened or inflamed skin, tumours, metal implants, recent chemotherapy, radiation or surgery or are on medication that thins the blood. If you think you may be pregnant, let your Tracy know.

Remember, if you have a serious medical condition of any kind you need to provide the Tracy with a letter from your doctor or practitioner confirming that the treatment is suitable for you to have.
