Hot Stone Therapy
Heat that reaches what hands alone cannot.
Heated basalt stones worked along the back and shoulders to release tension that has been sitting there for months.
Smooth basalt holds heat for a long time. Placed along the spine and worked through the shoulders, that heat softens muscle before any pressure is applied, so the release goes deeper and hurts a great deal less.
Most clients arrive carrying their week in their neck. Ninety minutes later they are having trouble remembering what they were tense about. It is our most requested wellness session for a reason.
What it does
Why clients book it
Deeper release
Heat softens the muscle first, so the work goes further with less pressure and less soreness after.
Circulation
Warmth opens the vessels underneath, which is why the flush and the heaviness in the limbs lifts.
Sleep
Clients regularly tell us the night after a stone session is the best sleep they have had in weeks.
Stress
The nervous system reads sustained warmth as safety. Everything else follows from there.
