Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone Massage is sooo relaxing, the heat adds another dimension into the massage and your body lets go into relaxation quicker with the use of the warmed basalt stones. The stones are made from black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains the heat well.

Originally therapists used a water bath to heat the stones, but I find that too much of a faff, as you had to fish them out and dry them. Luckily with the invention of the vulsini heating bag I can easily heat the stones to the correct temperature, so the treatment is much more seamless with less breaks in the treatment.

The hot stones are used as part of a body massage, to help relieve muscular aches and pains and induce relaxation.  One stroke with a warm basalt stone is the equivalent of 5-10 with the hand, as the heat penetrates deeper into the tissue, releasing tight muscles quicker.
