Massage is the use of natural touch and involves structured physical manipulations of soft body tissue and muscles for therapeutic purposes.
In its various forms, massage can be used to stimulate or relax and has been used throughout history for both its physical and psychological benefits.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage is based on ancient methods of Indian people, who used the power of warmed stones for their well being. The technique uses warm stones, placed on the client's body and also in the therapist's hands, the heat gently penetrating the skin and muscles, helping the client to relax and de-stress in double quick time.
The ancient healing art of stone therapy use massage with warm stones. It relaxes the body at its deepest level and is effective in creating harmony and balanced energy flow. The subtle energies of stones introduced into a treatment are known to promote a meditative state and calm.
Stones formed by sedimentary and volcanic action are very effective. The thermal conduction of the stones brings about local and systemic changes in the body, influencing the energy centres or Chakras, balancing both body and mind. A combination of the unique energies of the stones and universal energy assist the balancing of the body's internal energy flow (chi).
Massage could help with many health conditions through these techniques such as:
- Headaches & migraines
- Abdominal, muscle and back pain
- Pain caused by injury or stress
- Muscle & nervous tension
- Fatigue & lethargy, poor energy levels
- High blood pressure
- Poor sleep patterns
- Stiff or aching joints & muscles
- Poor skin & muscle tone
- Poor circulation & cellulite
- Water retention

Other benefits include:
- Massage encourages the body systems to function more efficiently and therefore could help improve the healing process for damaged tissue
- Circulation is usually improved and the skin condition may appear softer and smoother due to the massage itself and the oils/lotions applied
The Massage Session
Before your first session you will complete a health questionnaire to ensure that massage is suitable for you.
This also gives you the opportunity of letting your therapist know of any particular area of concern so that the massage can be adapted to your own, individual requirements.
It is advisable not to have a large meal or any alcohol before receiving your massage.
Due to the level of relaxation usually achieved during a Hot Stone session, try to plan for a relaxing period after your massage, if at all possible. You will probably not want to drive too far afterwards.
Each massage session is adapted for the individual but will be approx. 1 ¼ hour long. Allow extra time before the initial session for your health consultation.
