If your body feels tight, your stress is building, or nothing seems to fully relax you, it may be time to try hot stone massage therapy. This ancient method uses smooth, heated stones and proven massage techniques to unlock deep relief and bring the body back to a state of calm. Available now seven days a week at Mays Street Massage in Round Rock.
Hot stone massage therapy is a unique form of bodywork that combines traditional massage with the deeply relaxing effects of heated stones. Smooth basalt stones are warmed and strategically placed on key points of the body, then used by the therapist to glide over muscles, helping to loosen tension that regular pressure alone cannot release.
The heat from the stones increases circulation, reduces stiffness, and helps relax muscle fibers faster and more effectively. It is a perfect massage service for people dealing with chronic stress, tightness in the back or shoulders, or those who simply want a more complete state of relaxation.
At Mays Street Massage, our hot stone massage sessions are designed to help you fully let go — not just physically, but mentally. This is where heat, technique, and calm come together.
Hot stone massage is a calming, full body therapy that blends heat with manual massage techniques. The session begins with warm basalt stones placed along key areas such as the spine, shoulders, hands, and legs. These stones are known for their ability to retain heat and deliver it evenly into the muscle layers.
Your therapist then uses the heated stones in combination with their hands to perform long, flowing strokes. This approach helps relax the muscles faster than pressure alone, allowing for deeper work without discomfort. The warmth increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, and helps ease physical and mental tension in a natural way.
This massage service is ideal for clients who want a relaxing experience with the added benefits of therapeutic heat. Sessions are available in 30, 60, and 90 minute formats based on your comfort and goals.
The warmth of the stones softens muscle fibers, allowing your therapist to reach deeper layers without intense pressure. This is ideal for clients who want relief without feeling sore afterward.
Heat naturally expands blood vessels, which helps improve oxygen delivery to tight or tired areas. Better circulation supports faster healing and reduces fatigue.
The combination of heat and smooth massage strokes helps lower cortisol levels, ease mental tension, and encourage a deeper sense of relaxation during and after the session.
Gentle heat paired with massage improves lymphatic movement. This helps the body clear out toxins and reduce swelling or water retention.
Many clients report better sleep and improved recovery after receiving a hot stone massage, especially when managing stress, muscle aches, or chronic tension.
At Mays Street Massage, hot stone therapy is more than a spa treatment—it’s a proven way to ease stress, stiffness, and fatigue when nothing else works. Our licensed therapists, with over a decade of combined experience, skillfully use heated stones to balance warmth, pressure, and rhythm, helping your body release deep tension and recharge. We proudly serve the Round Rock community seven days a week with professional, consistent care that keeps clients coming back.
A hot stone massage feels deeply relaxing. The warmth from the stones helps your muscles soften quickly, allowing for smoother, longer strokes without added pressure. Most clients describe it as calming, soothing, and effective for releasing deep tension.
No. The stones are heated to a safe and comfortable temperature before being placed on the body. Your therapist always checks with you to make sure the heat feels good. If anything feels too warm, we adjust right away.
