What is Hot Stones massage?
Hot Stones massage uses heated volcanic basalt stones at therapeutic temperature for deep muscle relaxation and improved circulation. In Lisbon, at WellZen by Diana clinic in Saldanha, we offer sessions of 70 or 90 minutes from €80. The penetrating heat of the stones reaches deep muscle layers, providing intense and lasting relaxation.
Why choose Hot Stones massage
The heat that transforms. Volcanic basalt stones heated to therapeutic temperature are strategically placed on the body and used as an extension of Diana's hands, conducting heat deep into the muscles.
The result is muscle relaxation that would be impossible to achieve with manual pressure alone. Heat penetrates deep layers, dissolves tension and leaves a sense of deep wellbeing that lasts for days. Especially sought after in Lisbon during the colder months.

What to expect in your session
Stones are heated in water at controlled temperature. Diana combines static placement of stones on key body points with gliding movements that amplify the heat effect. The session alternates between stone work and complementary manual techniques.
Why volcanic basalt?
Basalt is a volcanic stone with unique properties: it retains heat evenly for long periods, releasing it gradually through the skin. Its smooth texture facilitates gliding movements and its density transmits comfortable pressure even when static.
This massage is especially effective in winter or cold periods, when muscles are more contracted. The heat from the stones amplifies the effect of any manual technique applied afterwards.
