Hot Stone Massage
60 min £6090 min £80
Hot Stone Massage combines the benefits of manual massage with the soothing warmth of smooth, heated stones. The stones are carefully warmed and used both as part of the massage and, where appropriate, placed on selected areas of the body.
The warmth helps create a deeply comforting experience and allows the therapist to work smoothly with areas of muscular tension without relying on excessive pressure. The temperature and pressure are carefully monitored and adapted to your comfort throughout the treatment.
