Hot Stones Massage uses the effects of “Thermotherapy” (the use of heat applications) with massage strokes, using the stones to create a deep, relaxing and healing treatment.
The hot stones are made of Basalt, formed from cooled volcanic lava. The elements in the rock give the stones their ability to acquire, hold and emanate a constant heat. It is generally thought that one stroke of a heated stone is equivalent to five strokes of a therapist’s hand and the heat from the stones penetrates deeper in the muscles.
