What is Hot Stone Massage?
Hot stone massage is a unique therapy that incorporates the use of heated stones, usually basalt, known for their ability to retain heat.
These stones are placed on specific points across the body and used in gentle, flowing massage strokes to warm and relax your muscles. The heat from the stones penetrates deeply, allowing for a greater release of tension than standard massage techniques alone.
By stimulating circulation, releasing muscle knots, and soothing the nervous system, hot stone massage creates an experience that’s both physically and emotionally balancing. For those seeking a deeply calming and therapeutic experience, this treatment is a perfect choice.
Benefits of Hot Stone Massage
Our hot stone massage offers a range of benefits, making it ideal for clients looking to address both physical and emotional needs:
- Enhanced Relaxation: The gentle heat from the hot stones allows your muscles to relax more deeply, providing a comforting warmth that eases physical tension and calms the mind.
- Relief from Muscle Tension: The combination of warmth and gentle pressure helps to reduce muscle stiffness, soothe aches, and alleviate common areas of discomfort such as the back, shoulders, and neck.
- Improved Circulation: Hot stone massage stimulates blood flow, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to tired muscles and boosting the body’s natural healing process.
- Stress and Anxiety Reduction: This deeply relaxing therapy calms the nervous system, promoting a sense of peace and reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
- Better Sleep Quality: Many clients find that hot stone massage supports better sleep, as it helps the body and mind to let go of stress, leaving you feeling balanced and well-rested.
What to Expect During Your Hot Stone Massage
Your hot stone massage at Intuition Holistics begins with a short consultation to understand any specific areas of tension and to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.
Using smooth, heated stones in long, flowing strokes, Emma will work across your body, warming and relaxing each muscle group. The hot stones are also used in hand-held movements to release deeper layers of tension, creating a sensation that’s deeply soothing and invigorating.
Once settled, you’ll lie comfortably while Emma places hot stones on key points along your spine and shoulders, allowing the heat to radiate deeply into those muscles whilst the treatment begins.
The full body massage then generally starts with the back of the legs before moving on to the already warmed back and shoulders. You will then turn over where you will enjoy the warm stones on the front of your legs and feet (there’s nothing quite like those little stones heating between your toes – many clients say it’s one of their favourite parts). We then cover your arms and hands before moving on to a face and scalp massage to finish off this full body relaxation.
A full-body hot stone massage session lasts a minimum of 50 minutes, giving you ample time to unwind and enjoy the therapeutic warmth.
It’s an ideal way to ease stress and recharge, especially during colder months or after a long week.
Priced at just £45, this deeply relaxing treatment provides exceptional value.
