Arrive hydrated and avoid heavy meals right before your appointment. Wear comfortable clothing and remove jewelry. Inform us of recent injuries, surgeries, or medical conditions. Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine to maximize relaxation and circulation benefits during the session.

Stones are warmed to a comfortable therapeutic temperature, typically between 110°F and 130°F (43°C–54°C). Therapists always test heat and adjust placement. Communication is encouraged—if anything feels too warm, we promptly lower the temperature or remove the stone.

Frequency depends on goals and muscle tension. For chronic tightness, weekly or biweekly sessions are common; maintenance can be monthly. Your therapist will recommend an individualized plan based on response, lifestyle, and recovery needs to achieve lasting relief and relaxation.
