A hot stone massage with warm, smooth basalt stones deeply relaxes the body and stimulates its natural healing process. This ancient method uses the heat of volcanic stones to calm the nervous system, release tension, and bring balance to the whole body.

​

Stones and warmth have always been our companions. Ancient civilizations used heated stones to warm themselves, to heal, and to ease pain. The Romans and Greeks used them in their baths, the Incas, Native Americans, and Maoris in their rituals and all recognized the power of warmth in contact with the body. Even today, hot stone massage remains a powerful way to calm the body and relax the spirit.

 

At Studio Krug, I combine this massage with a holistic approach: a gentle, present touch that brings you back into connection with yourself.

​

First, the warmed stones are carefully placed on specific parts of the body such as the back, abdomen, legs, feet, or palms. The heat slowly penetrates into the deeper layers of muscle, releasing tension. While one part of the body absorbs the warmth, another is massaged at the same time, creating a profound balance between activity and rest.​​

​

Hot stone massage:

◎ stimulates the body’s natural ability to self-heal
◎ deeply relaxes both body and mind
◎ relieves pain and muscle tension
◎ reduces stress and anxiety
◎ restores a sense of warmth, support, and connection with yourself

​

This massage is especially beneficial in the colder months, for chronic tension, fatigue, or simply when you feel the need for gentleness, warmth, and deeper peace.
