Stone Therapy Massage
Stones are placed on energy centres or chakras of the body to rebalance the body and mind.
Hot stones are made of basalt, which retains heat and usually comes from river beds where the current has worn them smooth. These are placed along the back and during the massage will be left at specific points of the body including the palms and between the toes. Cool marble stones are occassionally used during treatment to aid balance or reduce inflammation.
A full body massage is carried out using the stones. We will check that the temperature is ok for you before proceeding with the massage. The heat warms and relaxes the muscles, which allows deeper pressure to be applied, if desired. The warmth improves circulation and calms the nervous system.
Hot stone massage is suited to people who tend to feel chilly or who have cold feet. Or who have muscle tension but prefer a lighter massage. The heat relaxes muscles without using deep pressure.
