HOT STONE MASSAGE

The Hot Stone Massage at Upper West Spa incorporates smooth basalt river rocks, heated to 110-130° F. When applied to the skin, these hot stones help loosen tight muscles, which increases blood circulation and oxygenation. This process allows the massage therapist to release very tight muscles without causing discomfort.
