Hot Stone & Crystal Massage
Deep Tissue Massage Treatment incorporating the magical qualities of heated crystals & aromatherapy oils.
The origins of hot stone therapy can be traced back to over 2,000 years ago, when the Chinese used heated stones more than 2,000 years ago as a means of improving the function of internal organs.
Hot stone and crystal massage is a specialty massage where the therapist uses smooth, heated stones and crystals as an extension of their own hands, or by placing them on the body, along the chakras. The heat can be both deeply relaxing and help warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work more deeply, more quickly. The effects on the physical body of the warm stones can be greater than normal massage. In fact, one stroke with a warm stone is equivalent to between 5 - 10 strokes with your hand.
It improves circulation and increased blood circulation will bring nutrients to the tissues and assist with removal of toxins from the tissues. It is great for the muscular/skeletal system as the heat works on the tension and knots and regular treatments can result in the improvement in the range of motion of a joint or muscle.
Some other benefits of hot stone massage include:
We use basalt, volcanic stones that absorb and retain heat well, as-well as palm crystals. Using warm crystals not only has the benefits of the heat but also the magic of the unique crystal that is used (please see page on crystal healing for more info).
A unique massage oil blend created for you using pure essential oils is used and a combination of strokes and techniques is used to massage your neck, back, arms and legs, with and without the stones (we can focus on full body or just back and neck). You should always tell your therapist if the stones are too warm or the pressure is too intense.
