Hot stone massage therapy at Andrea Massage and Spa pairs smooth heated stones with skilled hand techniques to melt away muscle tightness and soothe the body. The warmth does much of the work, softening the tissue so knots release under gentle pressure. Clients from Little Neck, Douglaston, Great Neck and Bayside book it when their shoulders feel set like stone and they want warmth as well as touch.
The session takes place at our studio on Douglaston Parkway in Little Neck, NY. After a short conversation about your tight spots and how you tolerate heat, you settle under the sheet and the stones are placed along the spine and in your palms. Google reviewers call the therapist professional and say they will be back for their next session.
Heat First, Then Pressure
Warm basalt stones rest along the back while the muscles soften. Your therapist then oils the stones and glides them over the shoulders, back and legs, returning to hand massage on the areas that need focused kneading. The stone temperature is checked with you throughout, and the pressure stays where you want it from the first stroke to the last.

Benefits of Hot Stone Massage Therapy
Deeper Muscle Release

Warmth in Every Season
The steady heat is welcome after a cold Queens winter day and just as soothing on a humid summer evening
Better Circulation
Warm stones encourage blood flow to the skin and muscles, which may help stiff areas feel looser
Whole Body Calm
The weight and warmth of the stones give the nervous system a clear signal to rest
