Hot stone massage: warmth meets deep relaxation
In a hot stone massage, heated basalt stones are placed on specific parts of the body and also used as a massage tool. The warmth of the stones penetrates deep into the muscles and amplifies the relaxing effect of the treatment.
How a hot stone session works
The stones are heated in hot water and then placed on the back, shoulders or other areas. At the same time, the therapist uses additional stones for the active massage. The combination of heat and manual pressure is what defines this treatment.
- Heated basalt stones: store warmth and release it evenly
- Combination of heat therapy and classic massage
- Duration: typically 60–90 minutes for a full session
Who is hot stone massage suited for?
Hot stone massage works well for people who enjoy warmth and want deeper relaxation than a standard relaxation massage provides. For those looking for more targeted work on tension, deep tissue is usually a better fit.
- Ideal for deep relaxation and people who love warmth
- Gentler than deep tissue, more intense than a classic relaxation massage
- If you have circulation issues or sensitive skin, check with the studio first

Frequently asked questions
In a hot stone massage, warmed basalt stones are placed on specific areas of the body and also used for gliding massage strokes. The warmth of the stones complements the massage and creates a particularly soothing experience.
The stones are warmed to a comfortable temperature — typically between 45 and 55 degrees Celsius. Professional studios carefully monitor the temperature. If a stone feels too warm to you, let your therapist know immediately.
Typical sessions last 60 to 90 minutes. The time is needed to place the stones, allow the heat to take effect, and then carry out the massage strokes. Shorter sessions of 60 minutes are possible, though they tend to focus on selected areas of the body.
For a full-body hot stone massage, most of the body is typically uncovered. The studio provides towels for coverage. Certain areas remain covered at all times. Let the studio know in advance if you have any particular preferences.
Many guests describe hot stone massages as particularly deeply relaxing and consciously choose them as a break or as a special wellness moment. They are often considered a somewhat calmer, heat-focused alternative to classic pressure massages.
