Salt stone massage is a therapeutic treatment that combines traditional massage techniques with the healing properties of warmed Himalayan Salt stones. These stones are hand-carved from ancient sea salt deposits and contain 84 essential minerals that are absorbed by the skin during the session.
Unlike a standard massage, the stones act as an extension of the therapist's hands. The gentle heat from the stones penetrates deep into the muscle layers to melt away tension, while the salt itself lightly exfoliates the skin and creates a natural negative ion charge to help reduce inflammation and balance the body’s central nervous system.
Salt stone massage is ideal for those seeking a deeply grounding and restorative experience. It is particularly beneficial for:
High-Stress Individuals: Those dealing with burnout, anxiety, or "mental fatigue" who need a deeply calming sensory experience.
People with Chronic Muscle Tension: Individuals who find traditional deep tissue work too intense but still need relief for stubborn knots.
Individuals with Insomnia: The grounding nature of the salt and heat is highly effective for improving sleep patterns.
Skin-Conscious Clients: Anyone looking to combine the benefits of a body treatment with a mineral-rich skin exfoliation.
Salt stone massage is a mineral-rich therapy designed to recharge your body’s battery, leaving you feeling physically light and mentally centered.
Deep Muscle Relaxation: The sustained heat allows muscles to relax faster and more deeply than manual pressure alone.
Skin Rejuvenation: The texture of the stones provides a gentle exfoliation, leaving the skin smoother and more radiant.
Stress & Anxiety Reduction: The warmth and negative ions promote a profound sense of calm, helping to reset a stressed nervous system.
Anti-Inflammatory: The natural properties of Himalayan salt help reduce swelling and soothe joint discomfort.
Soreness is very rare with salt stone massage because the heat prevents the muscles from "fighting" the pressure. Most clients leave feeling "weightless" and deeply relaxed. We recommend drinking water afterward to help your body process the minerals and detoxification.
For a salt stone massage, you will be professionally draped with sheets, similar to a traditional massage. You will typically undress to your comfort level. Because the stones are used with a light amount of natural oil, we recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a small amount of oil on afterward.
Not at all. In fact, most clients find it much more comfortable than a deep tissue massage. The heat from the stones prepares the muscles so that the pressure feels soothing rather than "sharp." Your therapist will always check in to ensure the temperature of the stones is perfect for your skin.
You will feel the relaxing benefits immediately after one session. For those using it to manage chronic stress or inflammatory conditions, a monthly session is a great way to maintain the body’s mineral balance and keep stress levels in check.
Yes, however, because the salt is a natural exfoliant, we avoid using the stones on broken skin, fresh sunburns, or areas with active rashes. If you have very sensitive skin, let your therapist know, and they can use the stones through a light cloth or focus more on the heat than the exfoliation.
