Hot Stone Massage at Taje

 

What could be nicer than the feel of smooth hot stones massaging away the cold, stress, tension, tiredness, aches and pains?

 

Hot Stone Massage is a truly relaxing treatment using hot stones of varying sizes on parts of the body – from the forehead to between the toes - giving a deep massage and creating a sensation of warmth and comfort.

 

The heat from the stones feels great and is also wholly therapeutic - helping detox the body and relaxing the nervous system. The stones used are smooth, volcanic basalt that retain their heat on the body for as long as possible.

 

What happens during a treatment?

 

Before your treatment our therapist will carry out a full and

confidential   consultation and assessment of your needs.

 

During the massage, the therapist warms up the body with

traditional    Swedish massage, then massages you while

holding a heated stone. As the stone cools, the therapist

replaces it with another. They will also be placed along

the spine and various other parts of the body during the

course of the massage.

 

What are the benefits of Hot Stone Massage?

 

The benefits of hot stone massage include: -

· Deep relaxation, the warmth relaxes both physically and mentally

· The heat from the stones is transferred to the body by conduction and it may reach up to   

     3cm into the muscle

· Stress is reduced, relieving mental and physical fatigue

· Circulation is improved and muscles have an increased blood supply, improving function

· Toxins and waste are eliminated more quickly

· The warmth can relieve pain in muscles and joints

· Tension in connective tissue is decreased

· There is a deep comfort of receiving warmth on the body.

 

The use of the therapist’s hands in conjunction with the stones also helps produce a more intensive experience.

 

Does it hurt? Are there any side effects?

 

The therapist handles the stones herself before putting them on your body so she will check they are at the right temperature. If they do feel too hot at any time, then the temperature can be reduced.
