Why Choose Hot Stone Massage?
What could be nicer than the feel of smooth hot stones massaging away the cold, stress, tension, tiredness, aches and pains?
Hot Stone Massage is a deeply relaxing treatment, which combines holistic massage with the use of water-heated smooth basalt stones and cold stones to release physical tension, improve circulation and flush toxins from the body.
Using the hot stones allows the tissues, muscles and joints to relax, making it possible for deeper manipulation of the affected areas. This provides the benefits of a remedial treatment, without any discomfort and creates a sense of comfort and warmth.
Hot stone massage assists every cell in the body to receive more oxygen and nutrients while increasing lymphatic flow and eliminating toxins.
The cold stones help to reduce inflammation, refresh, invigorate and decongest. They stimulate the nervous system and when used with the hot stones, they create a cleansing effect in the body.
Crystals, Reiki or Aromatherapy oils can be incorporated into the treatment to restore harmony, balance and vitality making it a treatment tailored to you.
