Hot Stone Massage is a form of massage where the therapist uses smooth heated basalt stones (a type of rock that is rich in iron, retaining heat) on the body’s acupressure points to rebalance energy centres. The therapist may also hold these stones during massage of certain areas of the body. The heated stones assist in loosening tight muscles. The heat warms and relaxes the muscles allowing the therapist to apply deeper pressure. Swedish Massage Techniques and essential oils compliment this therapy.
Hot Stone massage is great for back aches and pain, arthritis, poor circulation, tension, anxiety, depression and insomnia.
Hot Stone Massage is carried out as the client relaxes face down, unclothed (other than underpants) on a massage table.
