Hot Stone Massage
- Treatment Procedure
Hot
stone massage is an intensely
gentle, relaxing treatment, which will help ease muscular tension
and aches. Warm stones are placed on specific parts of the body, and
used to gently manipulate muscles. The heat acts as a softener,
enabling the therapist to work muscles more effectively. As a
result, you will receive a deeper more relaxing massage than ever
before.
Partnered with the use
of special aromatic oil, and chakra balancing this is by far one of
the most enjoyable treatments available and clearly one you should
take advantage of.
