What is a Hot Stone Massage?

Hot stone massage is a therapeutic treatment that uses smooth, heated basalt stones to penetrate deep into tight muscle tissue. At Next Level Massage, located in Ridgeland, MS, we offer custom hot stone therapy that attracts clients from Jackson and Flowood who are seeking real, natural relief from stress and chronic pain.

If you’re searching for hot stone massage Jackson MS or nearby Flowood, you’ve found the #1-rated local destination for comfort, expertise, and results.

🔹 How Hot Stone Therapy Works

During a session, your massage therapist places warm stones on specific points on your body—typically your back, shoulders, legs, or neck. These stones are also used as extensions of the therapist’s hands to apply long, gliding strokes, allowing heat to melt tension deep within the muscles.

Combined with our expert massage techniques, the heat promotes faster healing, increased blood flow, and profound relaxation.

🔥 7 Benefits of Hot Stone Massage in Jackson, Flowood & Ridgeland, MS

1. Relieves Muscle Tension and Stiffness

The heat from the stones penetrates deeper than a standard Swedish massage, making it ideal for people dealing with muscle stiffness or chronic tension. If you’re active in local gyms like Orangetheory or Planet Fitness in Jackson, this therapy helps soothe post-workout soreness and tightness.

2. Improves Blood Circulation

Hot stone massage encourages healthy blood flow, which delivers more oxygen and nutrients to your muscles and organs. Improved circulation reduces inflammation and accelerates recovery from physical strain.

3. Reduces Stress and Anxiety

This isn’t just about your muscles—hot stone massage calms your entire nervous system. By triggering the parasympathetic “rest and digest” response, it reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) and promotes mental calm.

Regular massage sessions—especially hot stone—support lymphatic drainage and decrease stress, which helps strengthen your immune system. This makes you less prone to colds and inflammation.
