Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage has been introduced to modern spas from the ancient world for many years. Today, hot stone massage is not just a muscle-soothing, stress-releasing massage but a healing treatment combined with warmth and relaxation.
Bethune Oriental Medicine Center combines spa luxury and Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture & meridian concepts into hot stone massage.
During a hot stone massage, smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific parts of your body based on meridian theory. The stones are usually made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat. According to the University of New Hampshire Health Services, hot massage stones are heated to between 130 and 145˚F. Massage therapists may hold heated stones as they massage your body.
A stone massage is a unique connection you experience with nature and earth, offering a sense of profoundness and comfort that we often forget. It is also a deep healing and memorable moment that enhances our awareness and brings us closer to our true essence.
