 HOT STONE MASSAGE IN RALEIGH, NC
 
Hot stone massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones. They are often basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well.
Hot Stone Massage is a deeply soothing, relaxing and healing form of massage. The heat helps tight muscles release. The direct heat relaxes muscles, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than with regular massage. At Blue Water Spa, our highly trained massage therapists combine tradtional massage with hot stone massage for the most therapeutic and stress releiving treatment possible.
In some cases, the therapist might leave heated stones in specific points along your spine, in the palms of your hand, or even between your toes to improve circulation and relaxation.
The heat from the stones relaxes muscles, increases the blood flow to the area being worked on which further accelerates the healing process. This increase in circulation and the relaxation of the muscles also aids in mental relaxation. Mental relaxation is an important part of a therapeutic massage.
An authentic hot stone massage is not simply the "gliding" of heated stones lightly upon the surface of the skin, but rather the stones are used as tools to deliver effective tissue and muscle massage at a pressure level comfortable to the client. The client can request light, medium or deep pressure, and the client can let the massage therapist know if they are comfortable with the temperature of the stones.
The massage therapists at Blue Water Spa will discuss concerns and customize a massage for each client. Some people want to focus on upper body, others want particular attention paid to the feet and lower legs. Everyone can benefit from the stress releif of a high quality professional massage from a talented, experienced and professional licensed massage therapist.
