Deep therapeutic healing through the ancient power of warmed basalt stones
The Hot Stone Massage is a profoundly relaxing treatment that combines traditional massage techniques with the therapeutic properties of smooth, heated basalt stones. These naturally formed volcanic stones retain heat exceptionally well, allowing their warmth to penetrate deep into tense muscles and tissue. As the stones glide across your body in flowing movements, they release stored tension, improve circulation, and create a sensation of deep comfort and restoration.
This treatment is particularly effective for chronic muscle pain, stress-related tension, and those seeking a uniquely soothing therapeutic experience that works on multiple levels to restore balance to body and mind.
Your Hot Stone Massage experience begins with a personalised consultation to understand your specific needs and tension patterns. The treatment combines traditional Swedish massage techniques with the strategic placement and movement of smooth basalt stones, heated to the optimal therapeutic temperature.
The stones are positioned on key energy points while others are used as extensions of the therapist’s hands, allowing their heat to penetrate deep into muscle tissue. This carefully orchestrated combination of warmth and skilled touch enhances circulation, releases stubborn tension, and induces a state of profound relaxation that resonates throughout your entire system.
Our Hot Stone Massage typically lasts 60 – 90 minutes, allowing time for the stones to properly warm the muscles and for the therapist to work thoroughly on areas of tension.
Hot stone massage incorporates smooth, heated basalt stones that retain heat exceptionally well. This allows for deeper muscle penetration than hands alone can achieve, making it particularly effective for chronic tension and tight muscles. The heat from the stones helps muscles relax more quickly and enables deeper therapeutic work with less discomfort.
While many people benefit from hot stone massage, it isn’t recommended for those with high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, varicose veins, inflammation, or skin conditions that may be aggravated by heat. Pregnant women should also avoid this treatment. Please inform us of any health conditions before booking.
No, we carefully test all stones before placing them on your body to ensure they’re at a therapeutic temperature that’s comfortable. The stones should feel pleasantly warm, never painfully hot. Always communicate with your therapist if any stone feels uncomfortable.
Most clients experience a deep sense of relaxation, reduced muscle tension, and improved mobility after a hot stone massage. You may also notice improved circulation, reduced stress, and better sleep quality. We recommend drinking plenty of water after your treatment to help flush toxins released during the massage and to maximize these benefits.
Schedule your personalised healing experience and take the first step toward renewed balance.
