Hot Stone & Cold Stone Massage at Barefoot Physio

Whether you’re looking to melt away tension with the comforting warmth of hot stones or cool and refresh tired muscles with chilled marble stones, our bespoke Stone Therapy Massage treatments offer two unique ways to experience massage.

Available as 60-minute and 90-minute treatments, every session is tailored to you. Rather than following a routine sequence, your therapist will adapt the treatment to your goals, symptoms and preferences on the day.

Stone Therapy Massage is available at Barefoot Physio Exeter and Barefoot Physio Bovey Tracey.

Choose Your Stone Therapy Experience

Hot Stone Massage

Our Hot Stone Massage combines hands-on massage techniques with the gentle warmth of smooth basalt stones.

The heated stones allow your therapist to work comfortably into tight muscles while creating a deeply relaxing treatment that many clients describe as comforting and restorative.

During your appointment, warm stones may be used for:

  • Hands-on massage
  • Sustained pressure over tight muscles
  • Gentle stone placement to encourage relaxation
  • Supporting a slower, calming massage experience

Every treatment is personalised. Some clients prefer a full body massage, while others choose to spend more time focusing on specific areas such as the neck, shoulders or lower back.

Available in:

  • 60 Minute Hot Stone Massage
  • 90 Minute Hot Stone Massage

Please note: During periods of exceptionally hot weather, hot stone treatments may occasionally be unavailable to ensure a safe and comfortable working environment for your therapist. If this affects your booking, we will discuss suitable alternatives with you.

Cold Stone Massage

Cold Stone Massage offers an invigorating alternative to traditional massage. Using smooth chilled marble stones alongside hands-on massage and refreshing cold compresses, this treatment provides a cooling sensory experience that many clients particularly enjoy during warmer months or after periods of physical activity.

Your treatment begins with ice-cold compresses placed across the back before incorporating chilled stones throughout the massage.

Many clients describe Cold Stone Massage as feeling:

  • Refreshing
  • Revitalising
  • Energising
  • Cooling
  • Deeply relaxing in a different way to heat

As with every treatment at Barefoot Physio, the massage is completely tailored to your needs.

Available in:

  • 60 Minute Cold Stone Massage
  • 90 Minute Cold Stone Massage

Every Treatment is Tailored

No two massages are the same.

Your therapist will discuss:

  • Areas of tension
  • Your treatment goals
  • Massage pressure preferences
  • Previous injuries
  • Any relevant medical conditions

This allows us to create a treatment that suits you on the day rather than following a fixed routine.
