Ninety minutes of integrative hands-on + hot stone massage work.
During a hot stone massage, your body is not only weighted down with hot, smooth stones, but the therapist also uses the stones to massage your body. It’s like being caressed by the smoothest (rollerball-like) hands, but also being (lightly) scorched by them. A hot stone massage is mostly relaxing, but it also is more invigorating than your run-of-the-mill massage, thanks to the almost-too-much heat keeping you in the moment instead of letting you drift off. The heat helps release the tension in your back and shoulders, mostly, so those muscles can be worked on more effectively.
