Hot Stone Massage
Recommend: 60m - £60 | 90m - £95
This is a therapeutic thermotherapy treatment that uses warm basalt (volcanic flat rock). Warm oil is applied to the body with gentle flowing strokes. Stones are placed on specific points along the spine, legs, palms, feet, abdomen, and chest. The benefit of hot stones is their ability to deliver deep, penetrating heat to the muscles and increase blood flow allowing the energy pathways to open. This enables GEM to work on deeper layers of the tissue with less intensity and promotes a high level of deep relaxation.
The heated stones can significantly reduce muscle spasms, alleviate chronic pain (arthritis, fibromyalgia and back pain) and reduce inflammation. It helps reduce tension and stiffness in the back, neck, legs and eases discomfort from menstrual pain.
Basalt volcanic stones are chosen for this treatment due to their unique properties. They effectively absorb and retain heat for extended periods due to their high mineral content like iron and magnesium. Beyond their warmth, these stones are believed to hold and transmit energy, offering a grounding and stable influence that helps balance the body's chakras and facilitates the flow of vital life force. The smoothness of the stones also provides a uniquely enjoyable sensory experience during the massage.
Hot stones have a powerful calming effect on the nervous system helping to quite the mind, reduce anxiety and introduce a meditative state.
The heat stones also promote vasodilation to blood vessels, increasing blood flow and encouraging the delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, aiding healing and releasing metabolic waste via the lymphatic system.
This treatment is beneficial for those who truly want a relaxing and tranquil experience. Gentle gliding, circulation and tapping techniques are applied with the heated stones to promote a totally relaxing experience.
