Tension melts away with Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone Massage in Whakatane

Reset with a hot stone massage

A deeply relaxing treatment that combines the warmth of water-heated basalt stones with smooth, gentle massage techniques. The hot stone massage is a nurturing therapy that encourages circulation, eases muscle stiffness, and provides relief from both chronic tension and everyday stress.

Hot Stone Massage

Using heated stones, your therapist applies smooth, flowing strokes across the body, allowing warmth to penetrate deeply into muscles. The result is a calming experience that soothes both the nervous system and the body. Hot stones can also be paired with oil for even deeper relaxation and added hydration to the skin.

What to expect:

Your session will begin with a brief consultation to understand your needs and preferences. Your therapist will then use a combination of warm stones and traditional massage strokes — applying gentle pressure, long glides, and calming rhythm to ease muscular tightness and support overall relaxation.

The warmth from the stones helps dilate blood vessels, increase oxygen flow, and release deeply held tension.

This treatment is ideal for those experiencing stress, fatigue or chronic muscle stiffness, those with poor circulation or cold-sensitivities, those seeking a restorative, slow-paced massage experience.
