the Price of a Hot Stone Massage

I received a 90 minute warm stone massage in a spa which offers soak tubs, massage, and body treatments.

In addition to the $135 base price, I also gave my massage therapist a $30 tip for her services.

Hot stone massage is awesome. It's such a relaxing experience when done well, and my therapist was excellent. She ensured that the stones were at a comfortable temperature while she worked with me, and she really worked deep into my muscles to relive tension and soreness.

The overall spa environment was also very peaceful and relaxing, which made my experience there extremely enjoyable.

A warm stone massage is a very distinctive experience. Many people really enjoy them, but it's important to know that this kind of massage will not usually offer long term therapeutic relief of muscle tension and soreness. Instead, it's an all-over relaxing feeling.

When you're looking for massage, try to check out the spa first to make sure that it's clean, comfortable, and professional. Your massage therapist should be happy to provide references such as information about where he or she trained, and the spa should have a good feeling when you walk in the door.

Many spas offer promotional deals like free or discounted use of tubs and saunas in conjunction with massage; it doesn't hurt to ask about these options when you book an appointment!

If you like a massage, always tip well. Many therapists actually make surprisingly little money per massage, so they really appreciate a generous tip, as it shows that you enjoyed the experience.
