Hot Stone Massage

Overview

Hot stone massage combines massage with smooth, warmed stones. The heat helps muscles feel softer and more relaxed, which many people find especially comforting on cold Calgary days.

What We Offer

Warm stones are placed on or used by your therapist during the massage while hands-on work continues around them. We check the temperature with you throughout. Hot stone massage is offered at our Castleridge location in northeast Calgary.

Good to Know Before You Book

Please tell us if you have reduced sensation (for example from diabetes), skin conditions, open wounds, a fresh injury or inflammation, a heart condition, or if you are pregnant. Heat is not suitable for everyone, and we may suggest a different service.

There is little research on hot stone massage specifically, so we describe it as a relaxation treatment rather than a therapy for any condition. The general safety guidance for massage is to avoid heat over fresh injuries, inflamed areas and open wounds.
