Hot Stone Massage
WHAT IS
HOT STONE MASSAGE?
The heat from the stones has good effects on your blood circulation, which leads to a reduction of muscle spasms and could relieve muscle pain. The hard texture of the stones is not only beneficial for long-term ulcer formation but also normalizing any knots from prolonged tightness in your muscles. With massage therapy, Hot Stone Massage can reduce stress and anxiety, as well as boost sleep quality. This means it’s also good for a range of conditions and symptoms, like pain and depression.
HOW HOT STONE MASSAGE WORKS?
Smooth, flat and warmed stones are placed and rubbed on parts of the body. Quality is essential- we use lava stones which retain heat well. Stones are heated to 50°. Once heated, these stones will be placed along the body following the meridians to promote healing. This could include the back, spine or stomach for example.

Once the treatment areas are identified, heated stones will be placed at targeted areas on the body.
Our therapist will hold the heated stone as they massage your body. Different massage techniques such as kneading, tapping, pinching, pushing, stretching and cupping motions to trigger muscle relaxation and release muscle knots.
You may feel sore during and after the massage. This is normal due to the effects from deep tissue manipulation. You should not be feeling pain. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort during the massage, please inform your therapist immediately.
