Hot Stone Massage
Typically, a hot stones massage will last approximately 60 minutes and a standard session will usually involve the following steps:
• You will be asked to disrobe and lie face down on a massage bed. Areas not being massaged will be covered by warm towels.
• Your therapist will then apply oil to your body so that the stones can sit comfortably on or glide along the body.
• Your therapist will have heated the stones to the desired temperature. (usually between 53-64 degrees Celsius )
• The stones will be tested first to ensure that they are hot enough to heat the body and cause a relaxation effect (and not to hot to cause discomfort)
• The stones will then be placed at specific points on your back, between your toes and in the palms of your hands. feel free to let your therapist know if the basalt stones are too hot (everyone has a different heat threshold) or if you wish them to be heated further.
• After you have had a period of time to feel the effects of the hot stones, your therapist may apply pressure on the stones to massage your body or may remove the stones to massage your body directly.
