What Is a Hot Stone Massage?
Hot stone massage is a therapeutic treatment using smooth, heated basalt stones to transmit soothing warmth deep into muscles. At Empress Balinese Massage, this ancient technique is refined with modern expertise designed to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension, and enhance overall well-being.
Why Basalt Stones?
These volcanic rocks retain heat extremely well, making them ideal for sustained thermal therapy. When heated between approximately 110 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit, they help soften tight fascia and allow therapists to work deeper with less discomfort.
The Signature Empress Method: How It Works
At Empress, your hot stone session is crafted for maximum effect and sensory immersion.
Step-by-Step Treatment Flow
- Stone Prep: Thermally heated to the optimal therapeutic temperature.
- Oil Application: Using aromatic oils (e.g., White Musk) to nourish the skin and facilitate smooth gliding.
- Massage Techniques: A blend of Balinese and Swedish strokes combined with hot stone placement enables deep tension release.
- Energy Alignment: Stones strategically rest along the spine, chakras, palms, and feet to complement therapeutic intent.
This treatment isn’t just a massage. It’s a neurological reset.
