Hot stone massage therapy is our signature massage here at Hand & Stone. This form of massage therapy follows the same principles of Swedish massage, with the addition of heated stones that help lead to deep relaxation. Adding heat to specific areas on the body enhances the feelings of relaxation and peace.
Our hot stone massage in Jacksonville, FL, is recommended in particular for individuals suffering from fibromyalgia, arthritis, or other types of chronic pain. The penetrating effect of the heated stones allows the massage to be delivered without excessive pressure.
What is Hot Stone Massage?
During a hot stone massage, smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific parts of the body. The rocks are heated before use, allowing the massage therapist to apply deeper penetration to areas of concern, without causing any discomfort to their client.

What to Expect from Your Massage Therapy Session
When you first see us for your service, your massage therapist will consult with you to go over any areas of concern that you want to focus on or avoid, and any current conditions that might affect treatment. When you return for future visits, we will ask about any changes, and adjust your treatment accordingly to best serve you. Your massage will be provided in a room with its own sound and lighting controls, heated tables, crisp linens, and a plush blanket. Do you have any additional requests or concerns?
