Rest
Comfort is the goal; excessive heat is not.
What brings you here?
Choose an example to prepare for your visit—not to determine which treatment you need.
Set the pace you want
Ask for comfortable warmth and discuss pressure preferences. A quieter experience can be a worthwhile goal without needing to promise a specific medical effect.
“Can the session focus on rest with gentle pressure?”
Share your preferences
Mention fragrance reactions, allergies, and products you avoid before your visit. We review the oil ingredients and discuss a suitable approach.
“Can we review the oil ingredients before my session?”
Temperature feedback matters
If you have numbness or difficulty sensing heat, say so before treatment. The clinician needs to decide whether heated stones are appropriate.
“Is this safe for my sensation and circulation, or should I choose another option?”
What this service includes
Suncoast’s heat therapy combines warmed CBD oil and Himalayan stones in a head-to-toe bodywork session. Comfortable warmth, attentive touch, and an unhurried pace create space to rest. Your preferences guide the pressure and warmth throughout.
How warmth feels in the body
Warmth is sensed at the skin and can make an area feel more comfortable while you rest. Bodywork also adds touch and pressure. The strength of the experience depends on temperature, contact time, pressure, and your sensitivity; hotter is not necessarily more helpful.
What it may help you with
If your goal is to unwind or ease the feeling of everyday muscle tension, a warm bodywork session may be appealing. Individual comfort is the useful outcome to discuss. This particular stone-and-oil service should not be assumed to treat inflammation, repair an injury, or remove toxins.
Who needs extra care
Heat can burn skin, especially where sensation is reduced. Mention neuropathy, circulation problems, skin conditions, pregnancy, recent injury, or difficulty noticing temperature. Some areas or situations may require a different approach after assessment.
Planning your visit & more details
How it could fit your routine
You may want a quieter appointment after a demanding week or a session with less intense pressure. Tell the practitioner where you like or dislike touch and whether you want certain areas avoided. You can choose a different approach if warmth is unpleasant.
What to expect
Discuss positioning, draping, oil application, and how the stones will be used before your session. Keep Dr. Kari informed about temperature and pressure throughout. Speak up immediately if a stone feels too hot, pressure feels painful, or your skin begins to sting.
About the oil
Warmed CBD oil is part of this bodywork service. Tell us about fragrance sensitivities, allergies, or ingredients you avoid so we can review the product with you before application. CBD oil is not a treatment for an underlying medical condition.
After the session
Ask what temporary skin changes are expected and when to seek advice. Persistent pain, blistering, or a burn is not a sign of a more effective treatment. Decide whether the session met your comfort goal before planning another visit.
Your questions, answered.
Is this the same as the infrared mat?
No. The infrared mat is a separate supportive option. This page describes warmed-stone bodywork.
Do I need to bring anything?
Ask about clothing and preparation when booking, and mention any oil or fragrance sensitivities in advance.
