This form of massage can help to improve muscle and skin tone and promotes a sense of well-being. The therapeutic effects of touch have been used for centuries to help heal ailments and imbalances in the body. As well as releasing tension in the soft tissues of the body, massage encourages better circulation and aids lymphatic drainage, helping to eliminate waste toxins. Massage can also help the body to release endorphins, our natural ‘feel good’ chemicals. It helps to relax the body, boost the immune system and increases vitality. This treatment can be offered as a full body treatment (1hr in duration) or as a more focused treatment such as back, neck and shoulders, legs, or whatever suits your needs. This half body treatment can be offered as 1hr, 45 minutes or 30 minutes in duration.

It is widely said that one stroke of effleurage with a heated basalt stone is the equivalent to seven strokes with the hand. A hot stone massage treatment is incredibly relaxing. The heat from the stones helps the energy flow through the body, promoting a meditative and calm state. It also boosts a number of physiological benefits too. These include an increase in blood circulation, cell metabolism and stimulation of the lymphatic system and detoxification. The heat of the stones penetrates deeply into the muscle tissue, therefore allowing the muscles to relax 4-5 times quicker than through a standard massage treatment.
