    WHAT HAPPENS DURING A TREATMENT


    Hot stone massage is a specialist massage where the therapist uses smooth, heated stones, either as an extension of their own hands, or by placing them on the body while they massage other parts of the body. The heat can be both deeply relaxing and help warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work more deeply, more quickly.

    Hot Stone Massage

    You will be asked to remove your clothing (except underpants) behind a privacy screen and make yourself comfortable on the massage couch, with a large towel to cover your body. During the massage, only the part of your body being massaged will be exposed, to ensure your modesty. At different times during the massage the stones will be wrapped in a towel and placed on certain parts of the body and other stones used to

    perform the massage over the skin. A plant-based massage oil will be applied to the skin to allow free movement of the stones and to nourish the skin.A full body massage usually treats the back, legs, abdomen, arms, chest and neck, although this can be adapted to suit your individual requirements or preferences.

    During the hot stone massage treatment, smooth, basaltic (volcanic) rocks that have been heated in water are used in two ways; some stones are placed on specic energy centers, known as chakras, along the body to align and rebalance the bodys natural energy ow, whilst other stones are used by the therapist to perform the body massage.
