At Universal Healing Studio, we believe massage therapy is more than just relaxation – it’s a way to restore balance, release tension, and improve your overall well-being. Among our many techniques, one of the most requested treatments is the Hot Stone Massage in Calgary, a deeply soothing therapy designed to melt away stress and relieve muscle tension at its core.
Whether you’re struggling with chronic muscle pain, stress, insomnia, or fatigue, a hot stone massage offers the perfect combination of comfort and therapeutic benefits.
What is Hot Stone Massage?
A Hot Stone Massage is a specialized form of massage therapy that uses smooth, flat, heated basalt stones in combination with traditional Swedish massage strokes. These stones are warmed to a comfortable temperature and placed on specific points of your body, as well as gently massaged along your muscles by our trained therapists.
The heat penetrates deeply into tight muscles, helping to:
Loosen knots and stiffness that regular massage may not fully reach
Enhance blood flow and circulation, nourishing muscles and tissues
Calm the nervous system, reducing stress, anxiety, and fatigue
Promote deep relaxation, both physically and emotionally
Unlike traditional massages, the warmth from the stones accelerates healing and creates a profound sense of tranquility.

People experiencing chronic back, shoulder, or neck pain
Individuals with muscle tension and stiffness from work, exercise, or poor posture
