HOT STONE THERAPY
“Hot stone therapy” is a hands on technique used in conjunction with massage. There is no other body treatment like a hot stone therapy massage to relax the body at its deepest level.
The stones used to carry out massage are special stones that retain heat. They are silky smooth to facilitate the gliding massage. The temperature of the stones is transferred to the body which relaxes the muscles and the effects of the massage are far deeper. The tension from each muscle just melts away!!The use of hot stones increases elasticity so after heat treatment application- collagen fibres become more pliable.....
The weight, pressure and heat of the stones encourages lymph movement throughout the body. Metabolic waste is expelled more efficiently and the detoxification process is kicked into action.
