Remedial Hot & Cold Stones Massage

Hot stones therapy involves the use of smooth, heated stones which can be placed at specific points on your body and may also be held by your therapist while using traditional massage strokes. The localised heat and weight of the stones warms and relaxes muscles, allowing your therapist to apply deeper pressure to those areas without causing discomfort.

Hot stones have a sedative effect that can relieve chronic pain and reduce stress. As a standalone treatment or as part of a blended approach, hot stones ensure a healing, effective and deeply relaxing experience.

Is hot stones massage right for me?

The treatments we offer are beneficial for most people, however there are some conditions that mean we may not be able to use certain techniques. Your therapist will ask you to complete a health questionnaire as part of your initial consultation so that they can identify any potential risks and modify technique accordingly. If you have any concerns, we always recommend that you consult your GP or other healthcare professional before booking an appointment.

If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, varicose veins, migraines, rheumatoid arthritis, decreased pain sensitivity, recent wounds, areas of weakened or inflamed skin, tumours, metal implants, are on medication that thins the blood or have recently undergone chemotherapy / surgery, always check with your doctor before booking a hot stone massage. Pregnant women and children should avoid hot stone massage.
