During the massage, I place stones on specific points on the body. Although the points may vary depending on the muscle tension areas and the health history of the client, the stones are generally placed in the following areas:
• Along both sides of the spine
• In the palms of your hand

I usually use my hands without the stones to massage unless you really don’t want me to.

The duration of a typical hot stone massage is between 60 -90 minutes. Hot stone massage has continued to evolve, with many massage therapists and spas offering their own versions of the massage.
