Hot stone massage in Skokie
Smooth, heated stones placed and worked along the back to loosen muscle before your therapist's hands go deeper. Warm, heavy and very relaxing.
What it is
Smooth stones are warmed and placed along the back and in the palms, then used as an extension of your therapist's hands. The heat helps tight muscle let go, so the massage can go deeper with less pressure.
Good for
- Cold days and tight, tense muscle
- Anyone who finds firm pressure uncomfortable
- Deep relaxation
- Pairing warmth with a Swedish-style massage

Questions
How hot are the stones?
Warm, not hot. Your therapist checks the temperature on their own skin first and adjusts if anything feels too warm.
Is hot stone right for everyone?
Tell us when you book if you're pregnant, have circulation problems or diabetes, or have sensitive skin. We'll recommend the right option.
Is it deep or relaxing?
Mostly relaxing, but the heat lets your therapist work deeper without you feeling the pressure as much.
