What hot stone massage at Branford River Spa actually involves
Heated basalt stones are worked along the spine, shoulders, and legs, and held in the palms. The heat opens tight muscle layers before the therapist's hands get there, so the same pressure reaches deeper without feeling harsh.
It is our most-requested winter treatment on the shoreline for exactly that reason — you get deep-tissue depth with the comfort of a relaxing session.
Booking from Higganum: what to expect
Stones are heated to a checked temperature and always tested before contact. Your therapist alternates between stone work and hands-on technique through the session.

Guests travel in from Higganum Center, Candlewood Hill, and Hidden Lake, and if you know Higganum Green, Higganum Reservoir, and Seven Falls State Park you are only minutes from our door at 249 East Main Street.
