In short
Summary
Hot Stone + Hot Oil Massage at Blossom Wellness Clinic in Orangeville, Ontario. Smooth heated stones and warm oil are worked over the back, shoulders and legs, and the warmth is part of the treatment rather than a substitute for pressure. Provided and billed as massage therapy.
The treatment
How does hot stone massage work?
Smooth basalt stones are heated in water to a controlled temperature and then used two ways — placed along the body, and held by the therapist as an extension of the hands. Warm oil is used alongside them so the stones glide.
Many people who find firm pressure too intense prefer this format. Stone temperature is checked before contact and can be adjusted, and the stones can be set aside if you would rather they were not used.
- Stone temperature checked before contact
- Warmth as part of the treatment

Choosing
Which massage appointment fits what you are looking for?
Registered Massage Therapy is the profession; these are different appointment types within it, not three separate regulated professions. All are provided by a Registered Massage Therapist, all begin with a conversation about what you want from the session, and all are billed the same way. They differ in technique and in how the session feels, not in how strong they are. Hot stone uses warmth as part of the treatment. That is a different experience from firm hands-on work, not a substitute for it — if you want deep pressure, say so, or book the standard appointment.

Broad Back & Shoulder Tension

Warmth changes how the session feels. It is a different experience rather than a substitute that produces the same result as firm pressure.
Unwinding
Chosen as much for how it feels as for anything else — and that is a perfectly good reason to book it.

At Blossom Wellness Clinic, Hot Stone & Hot Oil Massage is $140 for 60 min, $165 for 75 min. Our booking page states that prices for massage therapy treatments are not inclusive of taxes.
How hot are the stones?
They are heated to a controlled temperature and tested before they touch you, and your therapist checks in through the session. Heat tolerance differs from person to person, so tell your therapist straight away if anything feels too warm — it can be adjusted or the stones set aside.

No. Hands and warm oil do a good deal of the work; stones are used where they suit the area and how you are responding.

How often should I come?
That depends on why you are coming and how you respond. Your practitioner will suggest a realistic spacing after your first visit. We do not promise a fixed schedule or a guaranteed result.
