Hot Stone Massage
What is a hot stone massage?
It is a deeply relaxing, advanced therapeutic massage technique. Smooth, flat, volcanic basalt stones are heated and used to massage the body. The heat from the stones warms the muscles, allowing them to soften and relax, and increases circulation.
​
Cold marble stones can also be used during the treatment in the same way, they are particularly good for reducing inflammation.
​
The therapeutic technique of using hot and cold stones on the body (thermotherapy) has been used for over 3,000 years, bringing balance, deep relaxation and healing.

What happens during a treatment?
Following a consultation, the smooth stones will be heated, then held and moved over the body like a conventional massage. The combination of the heat relaxing the muscles and the pressure of the stones helps to ease tension and knots in the muscles. A natural oil will be applied to allow the stones to glide smoothly over the skin. Different sized stones are used during the massage and will also be placed on different energy points.
The massage can cover all areas of your body, depending on your needs and treatment length - back, shoulders, legs, arms, feet, hands, stomach, neck and face.
