Hot Stone Massage

Back 25 MINUTES £42 | Back 55 MINUTES £57

This hugely popular treatment is deeply relaxing and therapeutic. Stones and crystals have been used to calm and balance both body and mind for thousands of years. Native Americans would warm stones by the open fire and use to ease aching muscles and what better way than to use what is there in nature to help us to relax.

This treatment consists of black basalt stones (specially chosen as they hold the heat) that are used in various shapes and sizes as an extension of the therapist’s hands to release deep held stress and tension.

The soothing sensation of heated stones penetrates the muscles and calms the nervous system resulting in a feeling of calm and balancing the body as a whole, working deeper into the muscles.

This treatment has many benefits including deeply relaxing, calms an over-active mind, relives stress and tension, soothes muscular aches and pains, helps ease Arthritis and joint problems (if not severe) improves circulation, helps stimulate the lymphatic system (the body’s way of removing toxins) reduces insomnia, depression and anxiety.

It is not suitable for people with high blood pressure, heart or circulation problems, cancer, diabetes, certain skin problems, sunburn or menopausal women because of the heat generated.

Also not ideal in very hot weather as the skin holds the heat.

The treatment starts with some Swedish massage using a massage oil, then after heating my hands with some stones I then massage the client with heated hands.  As the stones cool I will then use the stones as an extension of my hands to massage you, replacing the stones as they cool.  Different stones are used for various areas of the body and face for best effect.

Some stones will be placed on the face or body and left there for a while; this further enhances the treatment and is deeply relaxing.

The treatment is a mix of using stones and hands to massage you and the movements are smooth and flowing for the most relaxing experience.
