Hot Stone Therapy Massage is a form of thermotherapy (thermo=heat) that uses heated basalt rocks and cooled marble stones. Basalt is an igneous rock of polycrystalline structure. Heat emanates from the basalt in many directions slowly.

Basalt originates from cooled volcanic magma and its composition contains olivine (an iron or magnesium silicate)

The marble is a metamorphic rock of limestone in origin, its composition is more than 90% calcium carbonate. Marble is a mono-crystalline structure and emanates energy in one direction quickly and deeply. Marble is used in cold therapy and emanates a cool energy.
