Many spas have suspended use of hot stones during massages because of sanitation concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, ThermaBliss can easily be sanitized, and Cal-A-Vie has seen tremendous benefits. Says Traci Trezona, “It is sanitary, non-porous, doesn’t require electricity and very easy to clean.
