A hot stone massage stands out for its combination of heat therapy and manual manipulation. It therefore combines heated basalt stones, placed on specific points of your body, with traditional massage techniques to deliver deep therapeutic benefits.
This dual approach helps release tension in the muscles, improves circulation and enhances the effectiveness of deep relaxation techniques.
The hot stones are typically heated to temperatures between 43°C and 54°C.
As they rest on your skin, the heat penetrates deep into your muscle tissue, encouraging blood flow and muscle relaxation, and delivering powerful pain relief.
It’s particularly effective for chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia or arthritis and tension-related issues, however it is crucial to consult your medical professional before booking, especially if you have hypertension, diabetes, or recent surgeries. A hot stone massage should be avoided if you have specific skin conditions, neuropathy or osteoporosis, as the heat and pressure could worsen these conditions.
As a result of this hot stone treatment you are likely to experience:
– Stress reduction as the heated stones ease muscle tension and promote a state of deep relaxation.
– Better sleep quality as your body and mind unwind.
– Improved flexibility and range of motion, as the heat penetrates deep into tight muscles, and loosens stiff muscles and joints.
– Enhanced blood circulation and thus increased oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout your body.
– Strengthened immune system as the treatment lowers stress hormones.
Please remember that it is important to maintain proper hydration and allow time for rest, whilst your body undergoes the therapeutic effects of the treatment.
