Hot Stone and Swedish Massage in Red Deer
Warm stones and long, flowing strokes to melt away stress, calm your mind and leave you feeling completely reset.
About this treatment
Relaxation Massage, Done Properly
Swedish massage is the classic relaxation massage. Your RMT uses long gliding strokes, gentle kneading and light to moderate pressure to calm the nervous system and ease general muscle tension across the whole body.
Hot stone massage adds smooth, heated basalt stones. The stones are placed on key points and used as an extension of the therapist’s hands, and their warmth helps muscles soften so they relax faster and deeper than with hands alone.

Your session
What to Expect
Your therapist will ask about your health history and preferences, including the pressure you like and any areas to focus on or avoid. For hot stone massage, stones are warmed to a safe, comfortable temperature and checked before use.
The session is calm and unhurried. Music is soft, lights are low, and you are covered with warm linens throughout. Your RMT will check that the stone temperature and pressure feel good.
Afterwards, take a few minutes before getting up and drink some water. Many clients say they sleep especially well that night.
