Gem Massage Therapies

60m - £60 / 90m - £95

A therapeutic thermotherapy treatment that uses warm basalt (volcanic flat rock) stones, high in iron. Warm oil is applied to the body with gentle flowing strokes and stones are placed on specific points along the spine, palms, feet, abdomen, chest and between fingers and toes. This allows the energy pathways to open and warm the muscles quickly, allowing GEM to work deeply with less pressure. Gliding, circulation and tapping techniques are applied with the heated stones to promote relaxation and release any discomfort.

This massage helps to reduce pain from arthritis, fibromyalgia, back, neck and menstrual pain. It has a calming effect on the nervous system and hormones by lowers cortisol levels and increases levels of endorphins (serotonin and dopamine). Heated stones promote vasodilation to blood vessels, increasing blood flow, circulation and encouraging the release of metabolic waste products via the lymphatic system.
