Evidence of stone massage dates back to before written hisory, in fact over 3000 years. Ancient civilisations believed that hot stones were beneficial for cleansing the body, relaxing the heart, grounding the soul and soothing the mind. Hot stone massage combines the benefits of hydrotherapy and 'Thermalis' (the use of heat application) with massage strokes, using stones to create a deep, relaxing and healing treatment.
Using the heat of stones to warm the skin allows the skin to absorb moisturizing and theraputic oils, while at the same time preparing the muscules so that the therapist can work into the deeper muscle layers.
Very relaxing and luxourious.
