What is a Hot Stone Massage Therapy in Steamboat Springs?
A Steamboat Springs Hot Stone Massage is our most popular "specialty massage". Heated flat stones are placed on key points on the body. The Steamboat Springs massage therapist may also hold the stones and use them to massage certain areas of the body.

How Does Steamboat Hot Stone Massage Work?
The hot stones are usually made of basalt, a type of rock that is rich in iron, so they retain heat. River rocks are normally used because they they have been smoothed over time by the river's natural current.

The stones are immersed in water and heated until they reach a certain temperature range. The stones may be placed at specific points on the back, in the palms of the hand, or between the toes.

The heat warms and relaxes the muscles.

The warmth of the hot stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system.  Some massage therapists place stones on points that are thought to be energy centers of the body to re-balance the body and mind.

What Can I Expect During my Steamboat Hot Stone Massage?
Lying face down, the hot stone massage therapist in Steamboat Springs applies oil to the body, which allows the hot stones to glide smoothly along the muscles. After the hot stones have relaxed the muscles, the massage therapist may put down the stones and use his or her hands to directly massage the skin.
