What is a Hot Stone Massage?

Hot Stone Massage is a specialty massage in which the therapist uses smooth, heated stones as a tool for treatment. The techniques of a traditional Swedish massage are applied. Your therapist will place smooth, flat hot stones along the body and will also hold the stones throughout the service. As its name suggests, a hot stone massage involves using heated stones. ZZ Day Spa massage therapists use heated river stones or lava shells, as they are smooth and retain heat exceptionally well.

along your spine

The whole experience is quite therapeutic and enjoyable.
