Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage will help you relax, release toxins, ease muscle pain and find a balance amid the stresses of your life. The focal point of a hot stone massage is the use of hot stones to apply pressure to promote relaxation during the massage therapy session.
Session: 60min or 90min
This type of massage involves the use and placement of Basalt river rocks on different points of the body. The rocks are heated before use and the therapist can therefore apply deeper pressure to areas of concern without causing any discomfort. Basalt river rocks are the most commonly used stones during this type of massage as they are smooth from the current and they store the heat well. They are typically made of volcanic rock, which enables them to heat quickly and retain that heat for an extended period.
Before treatment, the rocks are heated in a professional heater.
This type of massage allows you to enter a deeper state of relaxation, the heat within the rocks relaxes the muscles, makes them more pliable. Our hot stone massage combines both traditional massage techniques and the use of hot stones. Your therapist will prepare the hot stones for your treatment and will typically place them strategically down the centre of the back along the spine.
The hot stones can also be placed on the stomach, feet, chest, face and even the toes and palms of your hands if needed.
