Hot Stone Massage

Hot stone massage is a speciality massage where the therapist uses smooth, heated stones in order to massage and relax the body. The premise behind hot stone massage therapy is that the direct heat of the stones relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist access to their deeper muscle layers. Combining hot stone protocols with a full body massage provides a very healing and effective experience. The hot stones also expand blood vessels, which encourages blood flow throughout the body. The hot stones have a sedative effect that can relieve chronic pain, reduce stress and promote deep relaxation. This type of massage has become increasingly popular with clients over recent years, as it’s known to be deeply relaxing.
