Hot Stone Massage
£0.00
A hot stone massage is a type of therapy that helps you relax and relieve tense muscles and damaged tissues in your body. During the massage, flat, heated stones made of volcanic rock are placed on specific areas of your body, like your back, stomach, chest, face, palms, and feet. These stones are heated to around 130-145 degrees Fahrenheit. Massage therapists use these heated stones along with Swedish massage techniques, like long strokes, circular movements, tapping, and kneading, to provide relief. Sometimes, cold stones are also used to soothe the skin and calm blood vessels after the hot stone treatment. Anyone who is experiencing muscle tension and pain, insomnia, or stress may benefit from a hot stone massage.
