Let’s be honest: We’ve all heard about the odd and exotic options for trying to relax. Whether it’s cactus massages from Mexico or being whacked by veniks in a Russian Banya, every part of the world has searched high-and-low for the best way to relax. Sometimes, the answers we’re looking for is right at our fingertips or, in this case, right at the tips of our toes. Allow us to introduce you to our Hot Stone Massage.
A hot stone massage, as the name implies, is where a collection of smooth stones are heated anywhere from 110 to 130 degrees and gingerly placed on pressure and stress points around the body. Sounds… dangerous, right? Most of the heat is trapped in the stone, retaining the heat for much longer while keeping it from scalding your skin. There is also a trained professional on hand to ensure that the rocks aren’t too hot for the recipient.
So how is that remotely relaxing or good for you? Think of it like the jets in a hot tub or heating pads - the specialist locates high-tension spots throughout your body and places a stone on it, sometimes adding pressure to each stone throughout the process, and loosening the tense muscle clusters. These focused points of heat target deeper muscles groups similar to a deep tissue massage without needing as much pressure to do it (and without the elbows).

But it’s not the only way that a hot stone massage can benefit you. Studies have shown a host of benefits from regular hot stone massages, including the reduction of stress, anxiety, and promoting better sleep. That right - if you’re a bit of an insomniac, then getting stoned (at Salon James) may help you find the rest you’re looking for.
