Hot stone massage is a variation of traditional massage therapy. Smooth, flat stones are heated up, and then placed on key points on the body. The massage therapist manipulates the stones, using them to massage certain areas of the body.

The use of hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but it has recently become very popular.

The stones are heated in an electronic device until they reach a specific temperature range. The heat soothes and penetrates the body, relaxing the muscles.
