This is now my second time going to her and the massages gets better every time. My first visit I went for the neuromuscular massage because I was in horrific pain do to a hernia in my neck from a previous hit and run I was in. The second time which was today it was a mixer of neuro and relaxation and when I tell you when it was over I be feeling drunk barely can stand up lol. She definitely has me as a client for life lol. Thank you Ms. Christine for all that you do and for being an awesome down to earth person...more

When I say amazing!! Christine did her big one from the professionalism to the expertise and education on the entire experience was top tier. I had been looking for a massage therapist on the Southside for a while and I must say I don’t have to look any further. If you are looking for a warm knowledgeable professional that’s been in the business for 20 years Christine is the one. My body felt so relaxed and loose afterwards it was a breath of fresh air. If your in the area or not she’s worth the drive. ❤️...more

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Hot Stones.

How does Hot Stones therapy differ from a regular massage session?

Hot Stones therapy uses heated basalt stones to apply steady warmth and pressure, allowing therapists to work deeper without uncomfortable force. The heat relaxes muscles, improving circulation and enhancing relaxation compared to a standard massage's manual techniques.

Is Hot Stones safe for everyone, including sensitive skin or conditions?

Most clients benefit from Hot Stones, but it may not be suitable for certain conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, open wounds, recent injuries, or circulatory issues. Always disclose medical history; your therapist will customize or recommend alternatives for safety.

How should I prepare for a Hot Stones add-on at my appointment?

Arrive hydrated, avoid heavy meals immediately before the session, and wear comfortable clothing. Inform your therapist of any health changes or sensitivity. We'll adjust stone temperature and techniques to ensure your comfort and maximize benefits.

How hot will the basalt stones feel during the session?

Stone temperature is carefully controlled to be soothing rather than painful. Therapists test stones against their own skin and communicate with clients to maintain a comfortable warmth, adjusting as needed for sensitivity or specific preferences.

Can Hot Stones help with chronic pain and muscle knots effectively?

Yes — the combination of heat and targeted pressure helps loosen adhesions and ease chronic tension. Many clients report reduced pain and improved mobility after sessions, though results vary and multiple treatments often yield the best outcomes.

Will Hot Stones be included in my standard massage or is it an add-on?

At Knot Average Massage Therapy, Hot Stones is offered as a customizable add-on to enhance any massage. You can request it when booking, and therapists will integrate stone work with your chosen modality for a personalized experience.
