Is hot stone massage right for me?
A hot stone massage might be the perfect choice if you’re looking to deeply relax or relieve muscle tension while having the option of lighter pressure than a traditional massage. The heat from the stones can be particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with chronic stress, muscle stiffness, or poor circulation. However, it isn't suitable for people with certain conditions, and it's important to share any medical conditions you have with your Massage Therapist so they can determine whether it’s safe for you.
Reduced Chronic Pain
Hot stone massage can help loosen tight muscles, break down adhesions or knots, and improve blood flow. This helps reduce discomfort associated with conditions like back pain, neck tension, osteoarthritis, and arthritis.
Improved Mobility
By addressing muscle tightness and restrictions, deep tissue massage can help increase your range of motion and make daily activities easier.
Better Circulation
The warmth from the stones with this type of massage can help dilate blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the massaged areas. This improved circulation delivers fresh oxygen and nutrients to your muscles, aiding in the healing process and reducing muscle fatigue.
Improved Quality and Length of Sleep
Chronic pain and muscle tension can significantly disrupt sleep. By addressing these issues and promoting relaxation, hot stone massage, can help you fall asleep faster, experience deeper sleep, and wake feeling more refreshed.
Indulgent, Luxurious, and Peaceful

Stress, Anxiety, and General Relief

What Our Clients Are Saying
"The people are great! Friendly staff and flexible appointments. They have direct billing with insurance too which is really nice. I've been going in for deep tissue massage for the last 3 weeks and my muscles are finally loosening up. Grace is amazing at deep tissue massage. I highly recommend her if that's what you're looking for... and it takes me a lot to say that. I don't give praise unless it's deserved."

"I dealt with shoulder pain for a year and half. I saw multiple massage therapists throughout that time and no one could seem to relieve the pain and stiffness. One session with Craig and he fixed it. He even knew the cause just based on my description of the issue before we even started the massage. I highly recommend him!"
Candida Tookey
"Amazing results! I've been meeting with Craig for a few months now, and we've managed to completely obliterate my chronic shoulder pain. Craig uses a number of different modalities to address issues you may be experiencing. He's enthusiastic about his work, and it comes through in our sessions. Craig's jovial and professional personality was key to putting any hesitations I may have had at ease, as he was the first male massage therapist I've worked with. Always comfortable, always professional."
Kim Davidson
"Lexy was great. She's clearly passionate about massage, health & fitness, and she was very knowledgeable on ways to correct tightness in my body. She even provided stretching suggestions/examples specific to my problem areas after my massage time had run out."
