What is hot stone therapy? At the start of our hot stone therapy, smooth water-heated basalt stones are carefully applied to key points on the body. This direct heat relaxes the muscles, which means that the massage itself is more effective and intense than it would be otherwise. The size of the stones varies, according to which part of the body they're being used on. The stones are coated in aromatherapy oils to increase your sense of relaxation and calm. When oil is smoothed gently onto the body, each stone in turn can be worked along by the therapist's hands. Our therapist will alternate the application of the warm stones with cooling marble ones, aimed at stimulating the nervous system. Our hot stone therapy should: * boost your circulation * release stored tension * recharge your energy levels * relax you. It is said to have health benefits for people with: * muscular pain * poor circulation * rheumatic and arthritic conditions * fibromyalgia * multiple sclerosis (MS) * back pain * stress * insomnia * depression. And as with all spa therapies, you should never underestimate the feel-good factor. Hot stone massage will make you feel nurtured, pampered and special. Hot tip! Don't be afraid to tell your therapist if the stones are too warm for you. You'll relax much more quickly and start enjoying that delicious feeling of total wellbeing.
