Add on a 15 minute face and scalp massage 1 hour 15 minutes £85
I start with placement of the stones, this is putting the warmed stones along the spine, gluteal muscles and the backs of the legs on top of the towels. After the muscles have been warmed, I work directly on the body, moving and massaging with the carefully warmed, smooth and oiled, volcanic basalt stones. I work on areas most needing the deep penetrating action from their heat. Heat has a sedating effect to the peripheral nerves, the mind and body in general, soothing inflamed nerves and muscles enabling a release of muscular spasms, stiffness and pain.
Hot Stones Massage is deeply detoxifying due to the deeper level the heat from the stones can penetrate within the body. Blood capillaries expand due to the heat applied, improving blood supply around the body delivering fresh nutrients and oxygen.
A brief application of the cold stones, they feel cold even at room temperature, helps to close the pores of the skin and also have an invigorating and anti-inflammatory effect ie. reduce swelling in the case of an injury.
This is a fantastic treatment as an occasional treat or those with a lot of built up muscular tension due to stress or physical action. It may also improve poor sleep patterns by releasing stress and reducing muscular aches, pains and stiffness
