hot stone

What is hot stone therapy?

Hot stone massage is an alternative form of massage therapy which can be utilised to relax muscles and allow for a deeper, more relaxing and more intensive massage. This is accomplished with soothing oils and warm basalt stones which are placed on the body, encouraging relaxation.

The properties of the stones

Stones might not seem like a natural aid to relaxation, but the stones used in hot stone therapy are selected specifically to relax muscles. Stones include round and oval basalt stones which are smooth having been been worn by the elements. There are several sizes of stone, different sizes being applied to different parts of the body.

The methodology

After application, the heat of the stones causes muscle relaxation which in turn means that the massage is more effective than it would otherwise be. The procedure also helps to open up energy pathways.

What are the benefits?

The improved effectiveness of a massage conducted with hot stones is highlighted above. In addition, this relaxing technique allows your mind to clear and enter a calm, meditative state. This in itself will actually re-energise the body and leave you feeling stronger in body and mind. Hot stone massages can also help with a range of health conditions, including:

  • Back Pain & Aches
  • Poor Circulation
  • Osteoarthritis and Arthritic Pain
  • Stress, Anxiety and Tension
  • Insomnia
  • Depression
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Muscular Pain
