We do lots of hot stone massage at Body Revive Barnsley. It’s probably our most popular treatment element.
Hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy that involves the use of smooth, heated stones. These stones are typically made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat well. The therapist will use the stones to massage the body and may also hold them in place on tight muscles whilst they are massaging with their hands. The heat from the stones can help to relax muscles and increase circulation. Hot stone massage can be a great way to relieve stress and tension, and it may also be helpful for people with muscle injuries or pain as it’s not as heavy as a full manual treatment.
For a deeper massage why not try our Warm bamboo and hot stone massage as the stick give a much firmer, targeted pressure while the stones then aid the relaxing of tight muscles after they have been worked.
