Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Basalt Hot Stone Full Body Massage.

A licensed therapist places warmed basalt stones along key muscle groups and uses them to glide and apply pressure, combined with aromatherapy oils. Sessions are gentle to firm, deeply warming, and typically include time for consultation and post-massage rest.

Generally safe for most adults, but not recommended for those with certain conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, deep vein thrombosis, open wounds, or severe varicose veins. Discuss medical history, medications, and any sensitivity to heat with your therapist before booking.

Session lengths vary, commonly 60 or 90 minutes. Longer sessions allow more thorough full-body work and extended time with hot stones and aromatherapy. Your therapist will recommend duration based on your goals and areas of tension.

Pregnancy requires precautions; typically avoided in the first trimester and modified later with therapist approval. Inform us of pregnancy stage, high-risk factors, and comfort preferences so we can tailor pressure, stone placement, and essential oil selection.

Arrive hydrated, avoid heavy meals immediately beforehand, and wear comfortable clothing. Inform your therapist about allergies, recent injuries, medications, or skin conditions. Plan to rest briefly afterward to enjoy the full benefits of enhanced relaxation.

Drink plenty of water to flush metabolic waste, avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and use gentle stretching to maintain loosened muscles. If soreness or unusual symptoms persist, contact your therapist or healthcare provider for guidance.
