Hot Stone
Hot Stone Massage uses smooth, heated stones (typically basalt) that are warmed to a comforting temperature and placed on specific points of the body, or used in combination with traditional massage strokes. The heat penetrates deep into muscle tissue, helping muscles relax more readily and allowing for deeper, more effective massage work.
Key Benefits
Deep muscle relaxation and tension release
Heat helps muscles loosen and soften, making it easier to release knots and chronic tightness.
Stress reduction & mental calm
The soothing warmth combined with massage stimulates relaxation, reduces stress, and can promote a sense of wellbeing.
Improved circulation & blood flow
Heat dilates blood vessels, increasing blood flow which supports tissue oxygenation and healing.
Relief from chronic pain & stiffness
Especially helpful for people with muscle soreness, arthritis, or stiff joints due to age or activity.
Better sleep & relaxation after treatment
Many clients report improved sleep quality, reduced tension, and a sense of calm after hot-stone massage.
Enhanced flexibility and mobility
Warmth loosens muscles and connective tissue, aiding in joint mobility and overall movement comfort.
Who It’s Ideal For
- Clients seeking deep relaxation but with sensitivity to very firm deep-tissue pressure.
- People with chronic muscle tightness, stiffness or early-stage muscle tension.
- Individuals dealing with stress, insomnia or mental fatigue — want a calming, restorative therapy.
- Anyone seeking a soothing, comfort-focused spa experience rather than intense therapeutic pressure.
What to Expect During a Session
- Heated stones placed on major muscle groups, pressure points or along the spine.
- Gentle massage strokes combined with the heat of stones, or alternating placement and massage.
- A warm, tranquil environment designed to relax both body and mind.
- A calm, restorative session leaving you feeling relaxed, rebalanced and rejuvenated.
Safety & Considerations
- Stones must be at a safe, comfortable temperature — therapist thoroughly checks before placement.
- Clients with circulatory issues, diabetes, skin conditions or sensitivity to heat should consult with therapist or GP before booking.
- As with all therapies — open disclosure of medical history helps ensure safe and effective treatment.
