A hot stone massage is a type of massage in which the masseuse places smooth, hot stones on your back. These stones provide heat therapy to the muscles, which can help reduce tension and pain. The stones used in hot stone massage are typically basalt, volcanic rock that is usually high in iron, which allows them to absorb heat.

Hot stone massage placement. The placement of the stones during a hot stone massage will depend on the muscles and tissues that are being worked on. For example, if you have lower back pain, the masseuse may place the hot stones along your spine. Other common spots for hot stone placement include the abdomen, chest, face, feet, forehead, and palms.

Hot stone massage techniques. Like stone placement, the techniques that your masseuse uses with the hot stones will depend on your specific needs. Therapists often use circular movements, kneading, long strokes, and vibrations. The hot stones can be used alone or incorporated into other types of massage, like Swedish massage.
