Definitions for "Hot Stone Massage"
a therapeutic massage using heated basalt stones
a unique massage treatment which benefits your body and soul
Specially selected heated stones are used to massage the body, providing a nurturing and enhanced therapeutic effect. The application of heat not only increases the feeling of well-being but also enables the therapist to work more deeply and more effectively with chronic pain conditions. The smooth basalt stones have a high iron content, enabling them to retain heat. The stones are applied at varying degrees of heat, wet, onto an oiled body and the effect is similar to a combination of sauna and massage, without having to breathe in steam. The practitioner will massage with some stones and lay others on the body at particular points - including in between the toes! All the rage at the moment and described as "complete bliss"
a very effective way to soothe the body, to create harmony, a positive energy and a sense of balance
