HOT STONE Massage
Hot Stone Massage is a wonderfully soothing and deep massage technique in which smooth basalt lava stones are pre-heated in water to a therapeutic temperature.
The heated stones are then placed on top of a towel in specific points along your spine, in the palms of your hands, and in-between your toes to engulf you in warmth and comfort.
As the heat penetrates the body and relaxes the muscles, the therapist begins to work slowly and rhythmically into the muscles using the traditional strokes of Swedish massage whilst holding a heated stone. The heat of the stones allows the therapist to work deeply into the muscles without causing discomfort and the tension literally 'melts' away.
The benefits of Hot Stone Massage include:
- Softens and relaxes muscles
- Allows deep work without discomfort
- Reduces pain and muscle spasms
- Improves circulation
- Powerful detoxification
- Induces a state of deep relaxation
Hot stones can also be used to enhance Deep Tissue Massage to great effect - please ask your therapist when booking.
It is so popular with clients that many who have tried it never go back to traditional massage!
Treatment time: 55 minute (back, shoulders, neck and back of legs) or 85 minute treatment (full body).
