Hot Stone Massage dates back over 3000 years. It originated in India and China, more recently the North American Indians used hot stones. Hot Stone massage has been revived and is thriving today in healing centres and spas throughout Europe and North America.
Hot Stone Therapy focuses on re-energising and balancing the body. The therapy embraces the philosophy of “mind-body-sprit” It can help to balance all levels of emotional, mental, physical and spiritual energies.
The basalt stones used in this treatment have been sourced from the beautiful beaches on the West Coast of Vancouver Island in Canada. The stones have been eroded over thousands of years which give them their distinctive smooth shape.
Hot Stone Massage, induces feelings of warmth, comfort and well being. This sensation of deep relaxation is enormously beneficial to everyone.
The stones used for Hot Stone Massage are heated up in hot water and then places on specific areas of the body, promoting relaxation. They also help open up the body’s meridians or energy pathways. Muscles are pre-treated with the hot stones and this allows the therapist to use deep tissue work.
