Hot Stone Therapy
Hot Stone Therapy goes beyond the physical experience of typical massage and enters deeper dimensions of relaxation, health and well-being.
The therapy combines traditional massage with the use of smooth, heated basalt stones, which are applied to the body as an extension of the therapist’s hands. Cold stones can also be used and this therapy is clinically known as “Geothermotherapy”.
Basalt stones are heated and applied to the body in totally unique relaxing ways; harmonising, restoring and rejuvenating the body at its deepest level. Use of hot stones can alleviate the discomfort of tired and aching muscles.
Other benefits of hot stone massage includes deep relaxation, stress relief, improved blood & lymph circulation, toxin removal, detoxification and an overall sense of well-being.
