HOT STONE THERAPY ($100 incl.HST)
Hot Stone Therapy is a specialty massage that uses smooth heated stones. Often, basalt stones, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well are used. It is age-old healing energy from hot basalt stones that penetrates muscles and balances the nervous system providing complete relaxation on both physical and emotional levels. It is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage. The heat helps to release tightness in the muscles. Before you arrive, the massage therapist sanitizes the stones and heats them in 120° to 150° water. The therapist uses traditional strokes of Swedish massage while holding a heated stone. As the stone cools, the therapist replaces it with another. The therapist might also leave heated stones in specific points along your spine, in the palm of your hands, or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy in your body. If you have inflammation or muscle injury, cold stones are sometimes used as well.
