What is hot stone massage?
Hot stone massage uses smooth basalt stones heated in water to around 50°C. The therapist places them along the spine, in the palms and between the toes, and uses others in the hand as an extension of the palm to glide over the body. The heat penetrates muscle far faster than hands alone can, so tension that would take twenty minutes to soften with pressure releases in a few.
It is a deeply relaxing treatment and one of the most popular winter bookings. The heat improves circulation, eases stiffness in cold or arthritic joints, and lets the therapist work more deeply without increasing pressure, which suits people who find deep tissue too much.
Sessions are usually 60 to 90 minutes, and the stones take time to prepare, so this is more often an incall treatment at a studio or spa than a mobile one. It is not suitable during pregnancy, with certain circulatory conditions, or where skin sensation is reduced.

Where to find it in London
Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Chelsea hold the high-end clinics and hotel spas, where ninety-minute treatments and a few days' notice are the norm and rates run a third above the rest of the city. Soho and Shoreditch are younger and later, with studios open until ten and a strong showing of Thai and deep tissue work for people coming straight from the office. Kensington and Paddington have the largest number of independent therapists working from their own treatment rooms, and Canary Wharf is almost entirely a weekday market: mobile massage to offices and hotels, sports and back treatments booked at lunchtime, and very little at weekends.
