Hot stone massage is a speciality massage that uses smooth, heated stones. They are often besalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well.

As the stone cools, it is replaced by another. The therapist may also leaved heated stones in specific points along your spine, or in your palms or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy. $85 / 60 minutes

Q & A

Q. Who benefits from massage?
A. Everyone! Massage is perfect for relieving stress and many people rely on regular massages to experience total relaxation. For athletes, massages can enhance performance and relieve muscle soreness after vigourous excercise. For those who are inactive due to injury, age or illness, massage relieves sore muscles and improves circulation. A good massage is also effective in improving the range of motion in stiff, painful joints, easing back aches associated with pregnancy, and relieving habitual tightness in the neck and jaw. Massage....therapeutic for every body.

Q. What happens when I go for a massage?
A. After you fill out a brief questionnaire, our massage therapist will discuss with you any particular problems such as muscle soreness or spasms, in order to target the massage most appropriately. For the massage itself, clothing is optional. Most people are comfortable removing all of their clothes; others prefer to remain in their underwear. Regardless, during the massage you will be covered by a sheet and draped at all times. The therapist will explain how to arrange the draping materials and will leave the room while you get ready. Only the area to be massaged will be exposed. At no time are the breasts or genitals touched or exposed.

Q. Will a massage ever hurt me?
A. No. Massages are healing techniques and, when performed by Rejuvenesce's certified massage therapists, can do wonders in promoting the body's sense of well being. If you have a medical condition, you may be more comfortable checking with your physician as to his/her opinion regarding you and massage.

Q. Will the therapist use oil to give the massage?
A. Yes. Be sure to let your therapist know if you have allergies to any oils or fragrances, or even if you have a preferred massage oil. Our therapists offer a selection of oils, lightly scented or unscented, as well as different types of oils and lotions.

Q. Will oil get in my hair?
A. It is a good idea to let your therapist know if you have any concerns like this. A good massage therapist will respect your concerns and do his or her best to accommodate your needs.

Q. How often should I get a massage?
A. There is no hard-and-fast rule about the frequency of massage. Your body is the judge. Some people elect to have one or more massages a week, while others find they feel good with less frequent massages. It is probably best to discuss this with your massage therapist. Above all, trust what you feel, and decide based on that.

Q. How long is a massage?
A. The typical massage takes about an hour.

 

Spa Etiquette

Here are some spa etiquette tips to help you make the most of your visit to the spa.

• Turn off your cell phone when you arrive.

• Arrive at least 20 minutes before your spa appointment so you have time to check in, change into your robe and slippers, and relax.

• Massage is usually done nude, but you are covered with a sheet at all times. Only the part being massaged is exposed.  If you’re more comfortable keeping your underwear on, that’s fine.  

• If you’re uncomfortable with anything during your treatment – the pressure, the music, the temperature -- speak up. The therapist will make an adjustment.

• You can talk during the treatment or stay quiet, as you choose. The therapist will follow your lead.

* If the therapist says, "Take your time getting up," that usually means a few minutes. It's not an invitation to take a nap.

• Customary tip is 15%-20%. If you were given a Gift Certificate, ask if the tip was included.
