For a level of relaxation that goes beyond muscle relief, the therapeutic power of heat is the secret ingredient.
While any body massage can bring a sense of relief, some forms of tension lie deeper, stubbornly resisting conventional techniques. For those moments, you need something more—a treatment that works not just on the surface, but sinks deep into the muscle tissue. This is the art of the Hot Stones Massage.
What is a Hot Stones Massage?
A Hot Stones Massage is a specialised spa massage that uses smooth, heated stones, typically volcanic basalt, which retains heat exceptionally well. These stones are warmed to a precise, comfortable temperature and are used in two ways:
-
They are placed on key acupressure points along your body—your spine, stomach, or in the palms of your hands—allowing the penetrating heat to relax the muscles beneath.
-
Your therapist also uses the heated stones as an extension of their hands, gliding them over your body with oil to deliver a uniquely soothing and effective massage.
The Deeper Benefits of Heat
The true power of this treatment lies in the therapeutic warmth of the stones.
-
Deep Muscle Relaxation: The heat penetrates deep into your muscle layers, warming and relaxing them far more effectively than pressure alone. This allows your therapist to work more deeply on stubborn knots and areas of tension with less discomfort.
-
Improved Circulation: The warmth causes blood vessels to expand, which encourages blood flow throughout the body. This increased circulation brings more oxygen to the muscles, helping to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
-
Profound Mental Calm: The gentle weight and consistent warmth of the stones have a deeply grounding effect on the nervous system. It’s a meditative experience that helps to quieten a busy mind, reduce stress, and promote a lasting sense of tranquility.
