What is Hot Stone Massage ?
Smooth water-heated basalt stones are carefully applied to points on the body. The direct heat relaxes the muscles. It is said that one massage stroke applied with a hot stone is 10 times more intense and effective than it would be otherwise.
The stones are coated in fragrant oil to increase your sense of relaxation and calm. When oil is smoothed gently onto the body, each stone in turn can be worked along by the therapist’s hands.
As with all holistic therapies, you can experience the feel-good factor as your body sinks into a state of deep relaxation;melting away all your knots, aches and worries. Hot stone massage will make you feel nurtured, pampered and special. The essential oils used will make you smell and feel beautiful.
What are the benefits?
The hot stones expand the blood vessels and sedate the nervous system.
The relaxing warmth encourages the body to detox and heal, increases lymph flow and helps to flush out waste products. The body becomes relaxed in a much shorter space of time.
