Hot Stone Massage & Aromatherapy

Hot Stone Massage is a truly relaxing treatment using hot stones of varying sizes on parts of the body - from the forehead to between the toes - giving a deep massage and creating a sensation of warmth and comfort.

The heat from the stones feels great and is also wholly therapeutic - helping detox the body and relaxing the nervous system. The stones used are smooth, volcanic basalt that retain their heat on the body for as long as possible.

Smooth cool crystals are then used after the heat of the hot stones to stimulate the body leaving you feeling completely refreshed and invigorated.

The benefits of hot stone massage include:-

• Deep relaxation, the warmth relaxes both physically and mentally

• The heat from the stones is transferred to the body by conduction and it may reach up to 3cm into the muscle

• Stress is reduced, relieving mental and physical fatigue

• Circulation is improved and muscles have an increased blood supply, improving function

• Toxins and waste are eliminated more quickly

• The warmth can relieve pain in muscles and joints

• Tension in connective tissue is decreased

Alternating the hot and cool stones helps every cell in the body to receive more oxygen and nutrients and encourages a more effective removal of toxins. The use of the therapist's hands in conjunction with the stones also helps produce a more intensive experience.
