Hot Stone Massage
HOT STONE MASSAGE
Hot stone massage is a unique therapy that combines the warmth of heated basalt stones with massage techniques for deep relaxation of the body and mind. It is a time-tested method with ancient roots, supported today by modern science with numerous proven benefits for physical and mental health.
Due to its many positive effects, it is often included as a supportive therapy in rehabilitation and recovery.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Smooth volcanic stones, heated to a temperature between 130 and 145 °F (54–63 °C), are placed on key energy points of the body:
along the spine,
on the abdomen, chest, and face,
on the palms, feet, and fingers.
The heat from the stones relaxes muscles, improves circulation, and creates a pleasant sense of inner balance. The massage is performed in combination with Swedish or classic techniques, ensuring even greater effectiveness.
Clinically Proven Benefits:
Relief of musculoskeletal pain:
The heat from the stones increases blood flow and relaxes tense muscles, reducing pain and improving mobility.
Improvement in sleep quality:
Hot stone massage positively affects sleep quality by enhancing deep sleep, reducing the number of awakenings, and increasing overall sleep efficiency.
Reduction of Stress and Anxiety:
Hot stone massage lowers levels of stress hormones and promotes relaxation. The combination of heat and massage techniques has a calming effect, helping to reduce stress and anxiety.
