Hot Stone Massage / Stone Therapy

Heated stones have been used by ancient cultures for centuries to purge, transform and heal. The Native Americans used heated stones in their sweat lodges and the Hawaiian people have been using basalt lava stones since ancient times for physical and spiritual healing and general well-being.

In this therapy, hot water heated basalt lava stones are used for their penetrative warmth to help release deep muscular tension, congestion and improve the general circulation far more effectively than with general massage. Stones of varying sizes are placed on key points of the body, while others combined with traditional massage techniques are used to give a deep releasing massage. Cold stones can also be used on areas of inflammation and muscular injury. The use of both hot and cold stones has a thermo-therapeutic effect on the circulatory system which helps the body detoxify and heal.

Stone massage leaves you feeling relaxed and energised.
